Chicken meatballs with sun-dried tomatoes are one of my favourite dinners. Although you can serve them with potatoes or rice, everyone loves perfectly creamy purée at my home. The meatballs are easy and quick to prepare, even if you don't have much time. They are so tasty that everyone reaches for seconds, and when trying them for the first time, they immediately ask for the recipe.
