Chicken Meatballs

1/2 lb ground chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red onion, minced
1/2 C bread crumbs
1 t pepper
1 egg

Mix the above ingredients and form balls. Drizzle some olive oil in a sauce pan and drop balls into pan to cook for about 5 min. or until brown. Turn balls around so other sides can brown for another 5 min. Remove meatballs from the pan.

Sauce
2 T butter
1/2 chicken bouillion cube
2 T flour
1 C milk or cream
1 t salt

In same pan that you cooked the meatballs, melt butter and bouillion cube. Add flour and stir in to form a ball. Slowly whisk in milk/cream and salt (you can add additional liquid -milk or water - depending on how thick/creamy you want the sauce to be). Return the meatballs to the pan and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Serve over rice or pasta.

Additional ideas for the sauce, you could add mushrooms, an herb or cheese depending on what sauce you'd like it to be.
