Curried Chicken and Cheese Balls
1/2 cup cubed or shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tsp minced onion
1/8 tsp curry powder
tiny pinch sea salt, optional
3 tbsp wheat germ
Put all the ingredients, except the wheat germ, in a small food processor or blender and blend until you have a uniform crumbly texture. Try rolling into a ball, if it is too dry, add 1 tsp water. Form into small balls and roll gently in the wheat germ spread on a plate. Chill and serve.
Makes about 10 balls
Do you cook something new everyday? You're so productive, it's incredible! And I thought I loved being in my kitchen. Seems I found a new role model in you! By the way, I'm far from being a vegan as well. I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian for ten years but returned to being omnivorous beginning of 2008, very, very progressively. Meat cooking is still new in my books since I only eat it twice a week. But thanks to you, I'm gonna poached a chicken pretty soon and then, I'll be able to roll up those yummy curried chicken and cheese balls.

You are so right about everything being more appealing to kids in the form of a ball! Or a nugget. :-) These look yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't try something new everyday, I do love trying out new things!
ReplyDeleteLooking to make these in the morning for my 5 y/o's lunch. Hope he likes them. They sure do look good! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThat's great. Let me know how it goes! My son thought they were the most disgusting thing ever when I first presented them to him,and then gobbled them later the same day. You just never can tell with the little ones!
ReplyDeleteThese were suprisingly tasty! Would also go great with mango dipping sauce. My 3-year old was initially put off by the "crumby stuff" (wheat germ) but once he got over it, ate them up fast! Will make again! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your 3-year old liked these! And they definately are surprisingly tasty for how simple and quick they are.
