0:30
but this recipe comes out of my third
0:33
volume cookbook Catherine's plate Simply
0:37
Delicious we have four cookbooks right
0:40
now we're working on a fifth cookbook
0:42
for you guys it's a dinner cookbook
0:44
everything dinner related that's a fun
0:47
one it's coming out this year so stay
0:49
tuned for that one all right grab you a
0:51
medium Bowl we're going to be using some
0:54
ground chicken let's flavor it up all
0:57
right so we're going to place our ground
0:58
chicken into a medium Bowl
1:03
we're going to add one
1:11
egg we're going to add in 1/4 cup of
1:15
panko
1:18
crumbs a these will add a nice little
1:20
crispiness to
1:25
it we've got some spices going on 2
1:28
tablespoons of dry fried parsley half a
1:31
tablespoon of Italian seasoning 1/4
1:34
teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of black
1:37
pepper and then we have a/4 teaspoon of
1:41
garlic
1:42
powder we're going to add
1:46
that and then we're going to take some
1:48
Parmesan
1:51
orano about 1/4
1:54
cup I'm probably going to go over that
1:57
quarter of a cup cuz I really love this
2:00
in the meatballs adds delicious
2:06
flavor I think that's good
2:08
there I'm just going to use a fork cuz
2:11
ground chicken is very very soft so
2:13
it'll be easy to kind of mix this all
2:18
together okay that is a definite good
2:21
mix here you can see all the ingredients
2:22
Incorporated well into the ground
2:25
chicken
2:26
there I'm going to form my meatballs
2:29
just going to be using like a 1 and 1/2
2:31
inch cookie scoop but I'm going to go
2:36
in place it on my
2:45
plate try to keep them about the same
2:49
size there we
2:56
go ah I got them all in there let's see
3:00
how many it made
3:03
21 now what I'm going to do is take each
3:05
of the meatballs and I'm going to form
3:07
them in a tight little round ball so I'm
3:10
just going to roll them in the palm of
3:12
my hand just make sure you clean your
3:14
hands
3:15
first and that's what we're looking at
3:17
now these are very soft and kind of
3:20
sticky a little bit so just be careful
3:23
I'm forming them because I don't want
3:24
them to just kind of fall apart while
3:26
I'm cooking them
3:34
now if you want to make these smaller
3:36
you can you'll just have about 40 some
3:38
odd meatballs the little mini
3:45
ones all right I'm going to go wash my
3:47
hands I'm going to be cooking in my
3:49
large Dutch oven or a large Soup pot and
3:52
everything's going to happen in here
3:54
I've got it on a medium high heat I'm
3:57
going to add about one tablespoon of
3:58
cooking oil and then we're going to
4:00
start Browning up the chicken meatballs
4:03
get them nice and golden brown on all
4:05
sides we're not trying to fully cook the
4:07
meatballs because they will do that when
4:10
the soup starts cooking we're just going
4:12
to partially cook them right
4:21
now we're going to heat this over medium
4:23
high
4:24
heat now I'm looking for the oil to
4:27
start simmering and then that way we'll
4:29
know when when it's ready to go I'm
4:31
going to be cooking these meatballs in
4:33
two batches that way they have room in
4:35
the pot to get nice and golden brown now
4:38
I've got a plate ready over here after
4:40
the first batch is golden brown we'll
4:42
put them over here on this
4:45
plate oh here that
4:47
Sizzle let them sit there and get kind
4:50
of golden brown on the bottom don't move
4:52
them around because we want that crust
4:54
on them
5:01
now we're going to leave them sit there
5:03
for about 1 minute till it gets golden
5:04
brown then we'll start rotating them
5:06
around until they're fully golden brown
5:08
on all
5:10
sides all right y'all see that color
5:12
there that's what we're looking
5:13
[Music]
5:15
for all right we're going to pull them
5:19
out I'm going to add a little bit more
5:21
oil and then add the second
5:24
batch let's pull them
5:27
out there we go
5:31
those look
5:34
delicious we're going to add some diced
5:37
carrot celery and onions which I already
5:39
took care of it for you we're going to
5:42
add that to our pot now what I'm going
5:43
to do is add a little bit more
5:51
oil and get that
5:55
going now you can put as much as you
5:57
want in here I'm working with two
6:01
carrots two celery ribs and half of a
6:05
yellow
6:07
onion I'm going to cook this down until
6:10
it's nice and
6:11
soft I'm going to add in a little bit of
6:14
salt for some
6:15
[Music]
6:16
flavor and some cracked FL
6:22
Pepper take about 3 minutes now the
6:26

6:32
small to cook for the times that I'm
6:35
