Chicken Balls!

I love to collect recipes; whether I try them or not I collect as many as I can get my hands on. Apart from the cook books I buy, I also collect the recipes published in magazines, news papers and even in those small booklets that are distributed at supermarkets with different products ;). I got this recipe for Chicken Balls from a Kiri cheese booklet. It’s easy to make and is a great Appetizer.
