Meatballs cooked in a frying pan

Meatballs in a creamy sauce cooked in a frying pan are the crispiest and least tender. Crispy crust lovers will love it.

For production you will need:

Chicken fillet or minced chicken – 400 g.
Milk – 30 ml.
Cream 20% - 200 ml.
Onion – 2 pcs.
A piece of snow-white bread.
Egg – 1 pc.
Salt/pepper to taste.

Manufacturing stages:

Pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder and create minced meat.
Remove the finished minced meat from the freezer and defrost. To speed up the process, you need to add more salt. It will quickly absorb and disperse the water. After defrosting, knead the meat with your hands until it becomes a homogeneous mass.
Peel the onion and cut into cubes. The smaller they are, the worse the onion will feel in the dish. For example, in meatballs in a creamy sauce for children, onions should practically not be felt, because almost all children cannot tolerate it.
Soak snow-white bread in milk and carefully squeeze out.
Add onion and bread to the minced meat, break the egg there. Mix everything until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
Add salt and pepper to taste (if salt was added when defrosting the minced meat, there is no need to re-salt it).
Additionally, mix the minced meat with your hands so that it comes out as fluffy as possible. Make several small balls from it.
Preheat the frying pan by adding vegetable oil. It is better to take not a flat frying pan, but a stewing dish - it is the deepest and the meatballs will be able to steam properly in it.
Fry on each side until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Reduce gas to the limit. Pour cream over meatballs, stir lightly.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
