Ikea Chicken Meatball Recipe
Ikea Chicken Meatballs are easy to make at home and can be served with chicken gravy or marinara sauce.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 2 lbs Ground chicken
- ½ Onion finely minced
- 2 cloves Garlic crushed and minced
- 1 ¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 Egg
- 5 tbsp Whole milk
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Ground black pepper
For the Meatball Gravy
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp All purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups Chicken broth
- ½ cup Heavy cream
- 2 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Combine all meatball ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into small, round meatballs.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet. Fry the meatballs in batches until they are well browned on all sides. Remove finished meatballs to a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Once all of the meatballs are browned, put them into the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. This will finish cooking the meatballs and keep them warm until the gravy is ready.
- To the same skillet, add the butter and melt. Then whisk (or stir vigorously if using a teflon pan) in the all purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. The flour mixture should darken slightly.
- Add the chicken broth slowly, stirring or whisking continuously until well combined. Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and dijon mustard. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the meatballs covered in gravy with potatoes, noodles, and lingonberry jelly.
