Procedure

Take the AIA Chicken Fillet Slices and cut them into chunks, then pour them into the mixer. Then add salt, pepper and Parmesan and blend until you get a homogeneous mixture. Now put the mixture in a bowl, add the ricotta and the egg and mix. Now you can form your meatballs; you can make them round and small, or a little flatter, similar to disks.

Now roll them in the breadcrumbs so that they are well covered. Put the meatballs in a baking dish lined with parchment paper and bake, in a hot oven at 200° for 20/25 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the yogurt and mint sauce, following these instructions.

Finely chop the garlic on a kitchen cutting board, along with the basil and mint leaves. Put the chopped mixture in a bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over it; flavor with salt and oil, then incorporate the yogurt.

Mix well, in order to amalgamate all the ingredients, and put the yogurt sauce in the refrigerator until it's time to serve it at the table.
