Ingredients:
1 Egg, beaten
1 Onion, peeled and sliced
500g Tegel Fresh Chicken Premium Breasts, minced
2 Spring Onions, finely sliced
3/4 c Fresh White Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Freshly Chopped Parsley
2 tsp Finely Grated Lemon Rind
1 tbsp Shredded Ginger

1/4 c Chicken Stock, Wine or Water

Directions:
In a bowl, mix together the Tegel Fresh Chicken Premium Breast Mince, spring onions, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon rind and egg, season with salt and pepper. Use wet hands to roll the mixture into walnut sized balls.

Heat a dash of oil in a deep lidded frying-pan and brown the meatballs. This is best done in 2 batches. Set aside.

Add an extra dash of oil to the pan, gently fry onion, ginger and celery until tender, but not brown. Add Wattie's Just Add Sweet Apricot Simmer Sauce and chicken stock with chicken meatballs, mix together, cover and simmer gently 15-20 minutes

Serve hot with plain boiled rice and seasonal steamed vegetables
