This is my version of Annabel Karmel's Chicken and Apple Balls from her book New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. I borrowed this book from the library when Abbey was a baby, and photocopied a few recipes I liked.
These chicken and apple balls are so yummy, all the big kids in our house love them too :)
Chicken and Apple Balls
600g chicken mince
1 onion (I use red/Spanish)
1 large granny smith apple, peeled and grated, then squeeze out juice with your hands (I drink the juice)
Small handful fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or sage, or a pinch of mixed dried herb
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
50g fresh breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup packet breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper

Put all ingredients in your food processor (I have mixed it all by hand, and this worked fine too)
Mix well.
Roll into approximately 22 small balls.
Little Miss 4 had fun helping with this bit.
Optional: coat balls with flour before cooking. I don't do this step any more.
Shallow fry them in vegetable oil for 5-10 minutes, turning often. They really do cook quickly.
I have cooked them in the oven also, but they did not taste as good.
Yum! Serve with oven chips and/or mashed potato, and/or steamed vegetables.
Enjoy. Visit Emma for many more Easy Peasy Dinner ideas.
