Chicken Balls in Rice Breadcrumbs
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. I came across this recipe in an appetizers book and wanted to make this dish. It is easy to make, the ingredients are readily available, and the taste and appearance will undoubtedly surprise and delight your guests and loved ones. Children love it when the balls are still hot, with a crispy crust. When the balls cool, the crust becomes softer, and if you skewer them on toothpicks, you'll get an elegant and delicious cold appetizer. They can be served warm or chilled.
