Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls

Can one really claim to be responsible for a recipe that was given to them by someone else? Can a recipe possibly come from someone who doesn’t cook?  If you ask my husband, he will tell you this recipe is his.  The technicality doesn’t really matter, what matters is that I have an awesome and incredibly easy recipe for sweet and sour chicken balls.  Add that to my own braised cabbage, and you've got a great dinner.
The cabbage:
1 large onion - diced
1 large carrot - shredded
1/2 head of cabbage, thinly shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in either a large skillet or pan, add onion and carrot, sauté until golden, add cabbage and 1 can of tomato sauce or paste, mix, cover and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes, the longer you cook the better.  note - you can add a little bit of water while this is cooking to make sure this is moist.
Sweet and Sour chicken balls
1 lb of ground chicken
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix everything together and shape into balls, place on a cookie sheet and cook for 15 minutes at 375 degrees
While that’s cooking, heat up 1 Tablespoon olive oil and add crushed garlic, or powdered garlic, whatever you have.  Immediately add 1 large can of crushed tomatoes, dash of salt and pepper and dried basil, stir and let cook for 5 minutes, add 1/3 cup of grape jelly and simmer for another 5-10- minutes on low heat.  Add Chicken balls and cook for another 15 minutes.  If you have extra time, you can cook longer, as the flavor will enhance the longer you cook. If not, remove and serve.  These are also great in miniature size as appetizer. Enjoy
