Creamy Potatoes & Chicken Meatballs

Munching some leftover Ikea meatballs and eyeing the 2 pieces of chicken breast in front of me and thought " stir frying that chicken again ? hmmm boring " :P :D Looking at the last meatball in my hand I thought , why not ? Been planning to cook spaghetti with pork meatballs later this week but when these chicken meatballs turned out well , will use these one instead ;D Next time though will add some chili flakes . This recipe's much more like chicken ala king . Omit , substitute and adjust if prefer.

8-10 baby potatoes
1 small carrot
6 pieces button mushroom , halve
some chopped onion
1 clove garlic , coarsely chopped
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1 stalk Chinese celery , sectioned
1 tsp chicken powder , some brown sugar
1/2 tsp constarch & 1 T water , mix together

  3. This does look like a wonderful meal. The cheddar cheese and the panko in the meatballs are some awesome ingredients. I would have some trouble not eating them all before I add them to the veggie mix. Well done and have a wonderful weekend!
