INGREDIENTS for 6 people:

2.- We form small balls with the dough, about the size of golf balls and spent for flour. That it soak it in the very outside of the meatball
3.- Continue until you finish with all the dough. Reserve in a dish and put everything in the freezer so that the flour settles well on the chicken meatball.
4.- After these 10 minutes, fry the meatballs in plenty of oil to temperature is very strong. Do it best in small batches.

7.- Now we add another handful of chopped parsley and also the chicken broth. Let it cook for a couple more minutes
8.- It is the turn of whisking the sauce. We introduced them in a glass blender, or a blender, americana (whatever you have at home to grind food) and blend until smooth. In the end, it should be a sauce rather liquid but with some body. If you think you have been very dense, add a bit more chicken broth.
9.- Return this almond sauce to the pan and heat it over medium heat. We introduce in it the meatballs and we make sure that they are well impregnated with the sauce. Let cook 15 minutes more over medium heat. Who caught the flavor of the sauce and finish cooking in your interior
