Chicken rice balls


The total calories for this recipe is about 750, so just divide it among the number of balls you make to see how many calories per ball. Serve with salad, or with noodles for the men to get more calories.

Ingredients:
250g chicken mince
160g basmati rice, cooked
2 garlic cloves
½ tspn ginger
Herbs – I use coriander, basil and cumin, but you could use just about anything – parsley, oregano or just Moroccan spice herb mix
½ onion (brown or red) diced finely
3 celery sticks, diced finely
1 carrot, grated
1 egg
(Breadcrumbs – you may need some to get the mixture to stick together. Use sparingly.)
Method:
Combine everything in a bowl.
Mould into balls as big or little as you like, keep in mind that chicken takes a while to cook so smaller is better if you don’t want to wait a long time for dinner.
Refrigerate for about half an hour to let the balls set.
Heat frypan, spray oil and cook well, or chuck in a 180C oven for about half an hour.
