Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the ingredients

  1. Combine the ground chicken with the egg and season with salt.
  2. Peel and finely chop the onion, then mix it into the ground chicken.
  3. Divide the butter into two equal portions.
  4. Using one portion of the butter or oil, sauté the spinach in a frying pan over low heat until wilted. Transfer to a plate and allow it to cool.
  5. Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes. Cook in salted water until tender.

Step 2 – Prepare the meatballs

  1. With damp hands, shape the chicken mixture into small patties. Place 1 teaspoon of the sautéed spinach in the center of each patty, then carefully seal and shape into meatballs.
  2. Arrange the meatballs in a saucepan or sauté pan. Add a small amount of water and the sour cream or yogurt. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked.
  3. Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth and serve alongside the meatballs.
