Butter Chicken Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients plus 2 tablespoons cilantro; mix lightly but thoroughly. With wet hands, shape into 1-in. balls. Place meatballs in a 3-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Pour butter sauce over meatballs., Cook, covered, on low until meatballs are cooked through, 3-4 hours. Top with remaining cilantro., Freeze option: Omitting remaining cilantro, freeze cooled meatball mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring gently and adding a little water if necessary. To serve, sprinkle with remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, and red pepper flakes together in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper and form into tablespoon-sized meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs until golden brown on all sides and no longer pink in the centers, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe the skillet with a paper towel.
• Melt butter in the same skillet; add remaining 3 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss into the garlic butter; squeeze in lemon juice. Add meatballs and heat just until warmed through. Garnish with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve.

Steps:

• Meatballs: In a medium bowl, stir together bread crumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add in garlic, egg, salt, and pepper, then stir until well-combined. Stir in ground chicken. Combine well, but do not overmix. With oiled hands, roll the meat into golf-size balls.
• Pour 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Remove meatballs from the pan (meatballs will not be fully cooked through at this time). Wipe the pan out to make the sauce.
• Sauce: Heat vegetable oil and butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, then let sizzle for a minute or two.
• Stir in McCormick Ground Cumin, McCormick Paprika, 1½ teaspoons garam masala, cayenne, and salt. Let spices heat through until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and bring sauce to a simmer, then take off the heat.
• Let the sauce cool for 5-10 minutes. Blend sauce until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water if it is too thick to blend.
• Pour the sauce back into the skillet. Whisk in the butter, cream, and 1 teaspoon garam masala. Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until meatballs are fully cooked through.
• Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice and lime wedges.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup panko, the milk, egg, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken and 3/4 cup Parmesan. Stir with your hands until combined, avoiding overmixing. Roll into 24 balls about the size of a golf ball (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on a sheet pan or plate. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining ¾ cup panko and ¼ cup Parmesan. Toss each meatball in the panko-cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere. (To avoid a big mess, designate one "wet hand" for touching the meatballs and one "dry hand" for tossing in the panko.) Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium. When foaming, add half the meatballs. Cook, turning often and reducing the heat if needed to prevent burning, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and remove any dark oil or loose panko from the skillet with a spoon or paper towel. (The skillet will be hotter at this point, so reducing the heat ensures even cooking for both batches.) Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil. When foaming, add the remaining meatballs and cook, turning often, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the plate.
