How to make chicken meatballs in the oven in creamy sauce? Start by preparing the necessary ingredients on the list. For meatballs, low-fat meat from the breast is used, but you can take meat from the hips. You can swap chicken for turkey.
Cut the crusts from white bread, pour the crumb over the milk and leave to swell, then squeeze.

Grind the chicken in a blender or pass it through a meat grinder a couple of times. You can take the ready-made store mince, it will save time.
Finely chop the onions. Onions can be added to minced meat fresh or fried. I added in fresh.
In a bowl, combine the minced chicken, onions and milk-soaked bread. Knead the mass thoroughly with your hands. Add the garlic cloves, salt, pepper passed through the press and knead again until smooth.
With wet hands, form walnut-sized or slightly larger balls from minced meat.
Place the meatballs in a vegetable oil-lubricated roasting dish at a distance from each other. Put in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes.
While the meatballs are baked, make a creamy sauce. Cream can take any fat content. I have 20%. I took processed cream cheese, without additives. You can replace processed cheese with ordinary Russian or any other to taste. Hard cheese must be grated.
In a bowl, combine the cream and melted cheese. Stir until smooth. I whipped everything up with a submersible blender. If necessary, slightly salt the mixture.
Pour the meatballs over the cream sauce and return to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes.
