Meatballs With Tomato Sauce Over Rice Recipe

Cook the Rice

Cook 100 grams of white rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Set aside to keep warm.

Prepare the Chicken Meatballs

Combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, an egg, minced garlic, finely chopped onions, and a mix of seasonings of your choice (such as salt, pepper, and Italian herbs) in a bowl. Form into small meatballs. Cook the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until they're browned and cooked through.

Make the Tomato Sauce

In the same skillet, add chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, diced onions, and a few tablespoons of olive oil. Cook until the vegetables are soft. Add herbs like basil and oregano, and simmer to blend the flavors. Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover with the sauce, and simmer for an additional few minutes.

Combine and Serve

Serve the cooked meatballs and tomato sauce over the bed of cooked rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
