1. Prepare the chicken meatballs
Add the Dewfresh Chicken Mince, sliced spring onion, paprika, curry powder, dried basil and grated cheese to a large bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the mixture and shape it into approximately 15 chicken meatballs.
2. Cook the chicken meatballs
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken meatballs and cook, covering the pan and turning the meatballs occasionally, until they are cooked through and golden on the outside.
Remove the chicken meatballs from the pan and set aside.
3. Make the mushroom sauce
Using the same pan, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften and the mushrooms release their juices.
Add a little water, freshly ground black pepper and curry powder. Stir to combine.
Pour in the fresh cream and allow the sauce to gently simmer until it becomes creamy and the flavours come together.
