Ingredients

For the meatballs:

• 500 g ground chicken
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• A little oil for frying

For the tomato sauce:

• 1 can (400 g) diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the mashed potatoes:

• 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
• 50 g butter
• 100 ml milk
• Salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the mixture into equal-sized meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the meatballs until golden brown, or to your preference.
4. In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the diced tomatoes or tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Add the fried meatballs to the tomato sauce and let them simmer together for another 10 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
7. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the water.
8. Add the butter and milk to the cooked potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
9. Serve a generous portion of mashed potatoes on each plate. Add a few chicken meatballs on top and spoon the tomato sauce over them. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

This combination of chicken meatballs in tomato sauce with mashed potatoes is perfect for a family meal, offering a rich and comforting taste.
