Norwegian Chicken Meatballs Recipe

Norwegian Chicken Meatballs Recipe

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 O Organics Large Egg
  • 2 1/4 cups O Organics Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 4 ounces gjetost cheese, cut into a 1/4-inch dice
  • 4 cups hot cooked Safeway egg noodles or rice
  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cornstarch, egg, 1/4 cup of the broth, salt, lemon peel, and 1 tablespoons fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried); mix well with a fork.
  2. In a wide frying pan, bring remaining 2 cups broth to a simmer. As broth heats, drop level tablespoon portions of chicken mixture into the liquid, keeping them slightly apart. Cover and simmer until meat is white in center (3 to 4 minutes; cut to test).
  3. With a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to a bowl. In a small bowl, mix remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoon water until smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into broth. Increase heat to high, add cheese, and whisk until cheese melts.
  4. Return meatballs to sauce, mix gently, and heat for about 1 minute. Spoon meatballs and sauce over noodles in a bowl. Sprinkle with remaining dill.
