Method

1

Combine the ground chicken, egg, cottage cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

2

Pound the meat mixture slightly and let it rest for 5-10 minutes so it firms up.

3

With wet hands, shape into meatballs and sear them on all sides until golden brown.

4

Pour in the tomato sauce and water, then add the basil, salt, and a pinch of sugar to cut the acidity.

5

Cover and simmer for 5-15 minutes until cooked through.

6

Serve the meatballs alongside cottage cheese that has been blended until smooth and creamy.
