Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 pound ground chicken, or 4 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon chile flakes
Freshly ground pepper
2 carrots, finely chopped

Vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, for garnish
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon smoked sea salt
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, ground
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, ground
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken drumsticks
4 chicken wings
4 chicken thighs, deboned
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup canned tomato soup, undiluted
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1 head romaine lettuce
1 red onion, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup radishes, julienned
1/4 cup fresh flat parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • For the chicken stock: In a large stockpot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken bones, stir to coat and cook for 5 minutes to brown. Add the vegetables to the stockpot along with the herbs and peppercorns. Stir to mix, add the water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for 4 to 6 hours. The stock will have reduced by half. Strain and skim the fat. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Reserve.
  • For the chicken meatballs: Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk. In a food processor, combine the ground chicken, or chicken breasts if using, the red onion and garlic. Blend for 2 minutes. Add the dill, olive oil, salt, chile flakes and breadcrumb mixture. Spinkle with freshly ground pepper.
  • Using 1 teaspoon of the ground chicken mixture, form small meatballs. Reserve on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until ready to cook in the soup.
  • For the soup: In a medium stockpot, cook the vegetables in oil for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 8 cups stock and the chicken meatballs. Let simmer until the meatballs are cooked, about 15 minutes. When ready to serve, divide the watercress in the bowls and add a ladle of chicken soup. Garnish with the blackened chicken wings and fresh dill.
  • For the blackened chicken: Combine all the spices with the garlic and oil in a bowl. Evenly rub the chicken pieces with the spice mixture. Place in a large re-sealable plastic bag or a bowl covered in plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to overnight for a more intense flavor.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a cast-iron skillet heat over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to coat the whole bottom of the pan. The pan will be ready when it starts to gently smoke. First place the chicken drumsticks in the skillet (they take the longest to cook) and blacken all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the chicken pieces and continue in the same manner for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and place the skillet in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, set aside and keep warm.
  • For the French vinaigrette: Add the tomato soup, ketchup, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard seeds, shallot, garlic and lemon juice to a blender and puree all the ingredients together. Slowly add the oil until it emulsifies and becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and blend again. (Add a little bit of water if the vinaigrette is too thick.) Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. The vinaigrette can be made ahead and will be good for up to 1 week.
  • For the salad: In a bowl, mix together the romaine lettuce with the red onions, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet, slice lengthwise and toss into the salad. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix together the radishes, herbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve: Dress the plates with the romaine and chicken thigh salad mix. Top each plate with a blackened chicken drumstick and garnish with the radish salad. Drizzle with the French vinaigrette and serve.

HCG CHICKEN MEATBALLS & SAUCE



Hcg Chicken Meatballs & Sauce image

Start the sauce the day before you intend on making the meatballs. This is a recipe that follows the guidelines for Phase 2 eating on the HcG diet. It takes a while, but it was VERY yummy! This recipe covers your vegetable, meat and bread (some versions of the HcG allow for an additional vegetable)

Provided by Jonesyx6

Categories     Meatballs

Time 45m

Yield 1 1/2 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces chicken breasts (slightly frozen)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic salt (diet approved)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 breadstick, HcG approved, ground to a fine powder
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To make the sauce:.
  • In a medium saucepan of water, boil the tomatoes until they either split or float.
  • Add them to a blender/food processor or use a hand blender (what I used).
  • When the tomatoes are liquified, add the oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt.
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • Cover and let sit overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld more.
  • To make the meatballs:.
  • Place sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Mince the chicken.
  • Grind the breadstick.
  • Add the chicken, ground breadstick, oregano, basil, garlic salt, onion powder and pepper into a bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Form the chicken mixture into small, grape sized meatballs and drop into the warming sauce.
  • Cook in the sauce for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you can, use organic chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the chicken meatballs. They should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked meatballs will be tough and dry.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion:

This homemade chicken meatball soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
