240ml orange juice
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp cornflour, mixed with 6 tbsp water

Slowly pour in the cornflour mixture, a little at a time, stirring continuously until you have the desired consistency. Remove from the heat and set aside.

CHICKEN MATZO BALL SOUP



Chicken Matzo Ball Soup image

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

Nutrition Facts : Calories 109 calories, Carbohydrate 4 grams, Fat 5 grams, Fiber 0 grams, Protein 9 grams, Sugar 1 gram

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh meat for best results.
  • Make sure the chicken is cold before cooking: This will help the chicken to cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • Be gentle with the chicken: Don't stir or toss the chicken too much, as this can break it up and make it tough.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Chicken balls are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Homemade chicken balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will be enjoyed by family and friends alike. Serve chicken balls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, honey garlic sauce, or plum sauce.
