Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for perfect chicken meatballs. Firstly, in this recipe, I used chicken breasts. but you could use minced chicken. I prefer to use chicken breast because it is fat-free and at the same time protein-rich also. Secondly, if you don’t have fried grams then add besan flour for binding. Finally, serve chicken meatballs with homemade sweet and sour tomato sauce.
