Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

- 1 small chicken breast (200g-250g)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)

Preparation of Boier's Meatballs

1. Preparing the Chicken Breast
Start by cleaning the chicken breast. Cut it into small cubes for even cooking. This step is essential, as the chicken cubes will add a pleasant texture to the meatballs. Wash the cubes well and let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess water. This will prevent oil splatter during frying.

2. Preparing the Mixture
In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt, pepper, baking soda, and paprika. Add the sour cream and cornstarch, mixing well to achieve a homogeneous mixture. The cornstarch will provide better consistency to the meatballs, making them fluffier. Then, integrate the chicken cubes and mix until all ingredients are well combined.

3. Resting the Mixture
Now, let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld and helps firm up the mixture, making the meatballs easier to fry.

4. Frying the Meatballs
In a deep skillet, heat the oil. Make sure the oil is hot enough (about 170-180°C) before starting to fry. Use a spoon to scoop the mixture and form small patties, placing them in the skillet. Fry them on each side for 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. It's important not to overcrowd the pan so that the meatballs fry evenly.

5. Finishing the Cooking
Once fried, remove the meatballs and place them on a platter lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
