Let’s Start Recipe
Today, we’re going to make **crispy, cheesy chicken pizza balls**! This is a very easy and delicious recipe, perfect for Festivals. You can serve it with **tomato ketchup**, **mayonnaise**, or any dip of your choice. These can also be stored in the **deep freezer** for up to a month. Let’s get started with the recipe!
Step 1: Preparing the Chicken Filling
In a pan, add **1 tablespoon oil**
Once the oil is heated, add **½ teaspoon ginger-garlic paste** and fry it on low to medium flame for **1–1.5 minutes** until it is well sautéed.Now, add **250g boiled and shredded chicken**. The chicken was boiled with a little salt and then shredded.
Stir the chicken continuously over medium flame for **2-3 minutes**.
Next, add the following spices to the chicken:
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red chili
1 teaspoon black pepper powder
*1 teaspoon oregano** (or you can use mixed herbs seasoning if you don’t have oregano).
Mix everything thoroughly with the chicken.
Step 2: Adding Vegetables
Add the following chopped vegetables to the chicken:
*1 medium-sized capsicum
1 medium-sized onion
1 tomato (deseeded and chopped)
½ cup black and green olives (chopped)
Stir-fry these vegetables for **1–2 minutes** over medium-high flame. We don’t want the veggies to get too soft, just lightly cooked.
Step 3: Adding Pizza Sauce
Add **3–4 tablespoons of pizza sauce** to the chicken and vegetable mixture.Mix it well, and once it’s well-combined, turn off the flame and let it cool down for a few minutes.
Step 4: Preparing the Bread for Coating
Now, take a **white bread slice** and cut off the edges.Save these edges for making **bread crumbs**.Dip the bread slice in water briefly (don’t soak it too long).
Once it’s soaked, press it to squeeze out the water.Now, place **2-3 teaspoons of mozzarella cheese** in the center of the bread and add **1–2 tablespoons of the chicken stuffing**.
Pinch the corners of the bread to seal the mixture inside tightly, forming a ball.Repeat the process to make about **12–13 balls**.
Step 5: Preparing the Coating
For the coating, take **1 egg** in a bowl.Add **3–4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour** and **¼ teaspoon black pepper powder**.
Add **1 teaspoon oregano** and a pinch of salt.Mix everything well, adding **¼ cup water** to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be **thin**, not too thick or too runny.
Step 6: Coating the Balls
Dip each stuffed ball in the egg-flour batter, ensuring it’s completely coated.Next, roll the ball in **bread crumbs** to coat it evenly.Place the coated balls on a plate.
Step 7: Freezing Option
At this point, you can store the balls in the **deep freezer** for up to a month.
Step 8: Frying the Balls
In a deep pan, heat oil over **medium-high flame**.Carefully add the balls one by one, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.Pour a little hot oil over the balls as they fry, helping them cook evenly.
Fry for about **5–7 minutes**, turning occasionally until the balls turn a **golden brown**.If the oil is too hot, reduce the flame to medium-low.Once done, remove the balls from the pan and place them on a **strainer** to drain excess oil.
Step 9: Serving
Serve the **crispy cheesy chicken pizza balls** hot with **tomato ketchup**, **green chutney**, or any dip of your choice.
These balls are crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. They are the perfect snack for any time you want to treat your family and friends.
