Farmhouse Chicken Meatballs offer butchers a strong raw counter product that delivers flavour, consistency, and visual impact. This recipe uses trusted Verstegen solutions to create a value-added line that is easy to prepare and simple for customers to cook at home.

The base starts with a juicy chicken meatball made using Verstegen Stroganoff Burger Mix. This mix provides reliable seasoning and binding, helping the meatballs hold their shape and cook evenly. It also delivers a familiar, comforting flavour profile that appeals to a wide customer audience. The result is a meatball with excellent texture and strong eating quality.

To build further appeal, the meatballs are coated first in Verstegen Batter and Shake Mix, then finished with Verstegen Schnitzelmix Stroganoff. This process creates a rustic, even crumb with a golden finish after cooking. The coating adds texture while locking in moisture, which helps prevent the meatballs from drying out. It also gives the product a premium, handmade appearance on the counter.

A rich layer of Verstegen Chasseur Sauce forms the foundation of the tray. This sauce adds depth of flavour and a rich colour that enhances presentation. It also supports yield and ensures a succulent finished dish when oven cooked. Customers gain a ready-to-cook meal solution with minimal effort.

The final garnish completes the farmhouse look. Cherry tomatoes, sliced chestnut mushrooms, and fresh rosemary and thyme add freshness and colour. They help customers visualise the finished meal and increase impulse purchases.

For butchers, Farmhouse Chicken Meatballs offer flexibility and strong margin potential. They suit midweek meals, premium displays, or seasonal ranges. Most importantly, Verstegen products deliver consistency, confidence, and repeat sales.

Method

Make your meatballs and roll in Verstegen Batter and Shake Mix then roll into the Verstegen Schnitzelmiz Stroganoff ensuring to have a nice even coat all around the meatball.

Layer a bed of the Verstegen Chasseur Sauce into the bottom of a smooth wall foil.

Place the crumbed meatballs on top of the chasseur sauce and garnish with the tomatoes, mushroom slices and fresh herbs.
