Instructions
1 Prep meatballs
- Chop the chives.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, half of the chopped chives, garlic onion powder and a pinch of salt with a drizzle of oil.
- With clean hands, knead until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Divide the mixture into 10 pieces and shape each piece into a meatball.
- Reserve the rest of the chives.
- Deseed and chop the red pepper into small chunks.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve some red pepper to serve as fresh bites.
2 Boil orzo
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the orzo.
- Cook for 10-12 min or until it is al dente.
- Once cooked, reserve a cup of cooking water.
- Drain the orzo.
3 Fry meatballs
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the chicken meatballs (in batches).
- Fry for 2-3 min or until lightly browned all over.
4 Add and simmer
- Add the peppers to the pan.
- Fry for 2 min.
- Add the tomato passata, measured water, 0.5 chicken stock cube and the capers.
- Simmer for 5-7 min or until the sauce has thickened.
5 Mix orzo
- Add the cream cheese and the reserved chopped chives to the drained, hot orzo, and stir to combine.
- Add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to achieve your desired creamy pasta consistency.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve some orzo plain, without the cream cheese and/or chives.
6 Serve
- Serve the Chicken Meatball in Pepper and Tomato Sauce with the Creamy Orzo.
Tip! If cooking for kids, serve the meatballs without the sauce. Then add the reserved plain orzo separately. Serve the reserved fresh pepper on the side.
