Appetizer
Description
You can hide a piece of pineapple or half a pitted olive inside the minced meat (or more precisely, inside the meatballs). It also turns out tasty if you add fried mushrooms to the minced meat, but then leave out the mayonnaise, otherwise the minced meat will become too soft and that will make forming the balls more difficult. For breading (to give the balls a crispy crust), I used salty onion-flavored crackers. It turned out interesting. So, watch and remember,

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for the appetizer in advance. Boil the chicken breast, carrots, and eggs until cooked through. Let everything cool. Peel the carrots and eggs. Let's get started!

Step 2
Put all the ingredients (except the crackers) into the food processor bowl. I also added a pinch of salt and pepper for aroma and flavor.

Step 3
Grind everything until smooth. You can also run it through a meat grinder—the result will be the same. Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes. The filling will firm up. Don’t add more mayonnaise than the recipe calls for; soft filling is hard to roll into balls. If it’s already too soft, don’t worry—add crushed crackers to the mixture, mix, let it rest a bit, and you’ll get great balls!

Step 4
Crush the crackers into crumbs, but not too fine. I used a mortar for this. Scoop the filling with a tablespoon and roll it in the crackers to form a crispy crust.
