Chicken Cheese Balls/Cheesy Nuggets/Chciken Chuks

Want some mouth-watering, quick snack recipe to be served with evening tea on weekends? Look no more & just give a try to these easy, elegant & tasty chicken cheese balls!! Few weeks ago I came across my friends profile, in which she had posted the pic of Chicken cheese balls. I could hardly believe that I could ever make them as they were shown in her pic! The appealing look of cheese oozing out of the ball made me hungry and I couldn't wait to try them. So, I gathered the ingredients & decided to try them the very next day & yeesss!!! The result was exactly what I had saw in my frnds pic!! Here it is!! (Hang on... Control ur drooolls mann!! :P )

It is certainly one of the simplest recipes to toss together when compelling. I seriously get excited when it's at last time to serve chicken cheesy meesy yummmacious balls :P I usually prepare it in the evening before, or even earlier, and freeze it, and there they are, taunting me in the refrigerator until time to serve. Talk about tempting!! My chicken cheese ball recipes are well- known among my friends. I'll share some other chicken cheese balls recipes shortly so that you can give them an attempt, too. They are definitely out of this world!!

Here are some instructions for making chicken cheese balls in advance. Assemble all of the ingredients sat room temperature, prior to mixing them. Then, you can simply blend all of the ingredients simultaneously with a wooden spoon/spatula. Take a large bit of plastic wrap or simply a plate, all set for covering the chicken cheese balls for chilling as you start mixing ur ingredients together. Then, just transfer your cheese mixture onto the middle of the chicken mixture and shape it into a ball. 

So, be sure to pick up the ingredients for this recipe if you don't already have them in your store room, so that you can make this over the holidays/any occasion/parties/in ramadan for Iftaar. etc. It's even perfect to pull out of the refrigerator to snack on anytime of the day!

You will end up into 10-12 cheese balls. Its really easy. (You can also freeze them for future use :) ) 

When ready heat some oil, coat your cheese balls first with the egg and then bread crumbs and fry on medium heat.

Take them out when they turn into light golden brown. And hence delicious cheese balls are readyyyy!!! :) 

Serve them with any chutney/ketchup or raita (yogurt dip), whatever you like :)
