Poached Chicken Balls

This is my spin on Annabel Karmel's Chicken Apple balls. It's great for kids.
Ingredients:
200g ground chicken
2 stalks of spring onion very finely chopped
1 clove of garlic minced
1 tablespoon coriander finely chopped
1/4 apple peeled and very finely chopped
2 drops sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 egg
1 slice of white bread without the crust -broken into very small pieces
breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder(like the Maggie Soup Base)

Method:
  1. Put a pot of water to boil with about 1.5 liters of water. Add the Bouillon and allow to come to a boil.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients (except bread crumbs)together in a bowl and mix well. Leave to rest for about 15 minutes (this allows the bread to soak in some of the excess miquid). If the mixture is still a bit "soft" add some breadcrubs - the end mixture should stil be soft but you should be able to make balls in your hand.
  3. Make balls and put directly into the boiling water.
  4. Reduce heat to MEDIUM.
  5. Allow balls to cook for 5-6 minutes until done.
