Instructies
If using a food processor, mince the cooked chicken breasts until finely chopped.
Alternatively, chop the chicken extremely fine using a sharp knife.
Soak the slices of bread in milk until soft, then squeeze them dry and tear into pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, soaked bread, egg, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in size.
Roll each meatball in flour to coat.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and fry the meatballs until they are dark golden and fully cooked.
Once cooked, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over each meatball for a refreshing burst of flavor.
Serve the meatballs hot or cold, on their own, or in a pita pocket.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Pair with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or a light Rosé to complement the lemon and savory flavors.
