CHICKEN MATZO BALL SOUP
The keys to this amazing chicken matzo ball soup are slow-cooking it and using boxed matzo ball mix. Some people swear by seltzer, but I find it's not necessary-the mix makes perfect, fluffy matzo balls every time due to its baking powder. Add chicken fat (schmaltz) for extra-authentic flavor. The matzo balls will taste as if they came straight from Grandma's kitchen. -Shannon Sarna, South Orange, New Jersey

Steps:
- Cover chicken breasts with salted water and brine in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- While chicken is cooking, bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut tops off the zucchini and scoop out the seeds. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion in the hot butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir until browned, about 1 minute. Pour in milk; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir constantly until it starts to thicken. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.
- Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir chicken and rice into the cheese sauce. Fill zucchini with the cheesy mixture and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve.

- 3. Spread on crackers and enjoy!
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality chicken, vegetables, and seasonings.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), then remove it from the heat.
- Make Sure the Sauce is Thickened: The sauce for chicken balls should be thick and flavorful. If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it with cornstarch or flour.
- Serve Chicken Balls Hot: Chicken balls are best served hot and fresh out of the fryer. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in a preheated oven or air fryer before serving.
Conclusion:
Chicken balls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With a little practice, you can easily make them at home. Just remember to follow these tips and you'll be sure to impress your family and friends with this classic dish. Happy Cooking!
