Bereiding

  1. Make the chicken meatball mixture

    • Mix everything together until evenly combined.
    Stap 1
  2. Shape the meatballs

    • Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls, about the size of your palm.
    • Place them on a piece of foil in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
    Stap 2
  3. Air fry the meatballs

    • Air fry at 190 °C for about 12 minutes.
    • Flip the meatballs halfway through cooking, until golden and cooked through.
    Stap 3
  4. Start the manestra

    • In a saucepan, combine the orzo and chicken broth, using twice as much liquid as pasta.
    • Bring to a boil over high heat.
    Stap 4
