Chicken Rice Balls

So while I was looking around for a recipe for Onigiri, I came across this recipe for Chicken Rice Balls on a random website. I decided to try them out and was happily suprised at how great they taste! It was like a tiny thanksgiving dinner all rolled up into a little ball and drizzled with sauce!

1/2c finely chopped celery
1/3c sliced green onions, divided
2T butter
2T flour
1/2c chicken broth
2c cooked rice (white is better in this case; brown seems to make it drier)
1/2c shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp chili powder
1/4tsp poultry seasoning
1/2c breadcrumbs
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4c milk

In a medium saucepan, saute celery and half of the onions in butter until tender. Stir in flour. Add broth; cook and stir for 2 mintues (mixture will be thick). Stir in rice, chicken, cheese, egg, salt, chili powder and poutlry seasoning until well mixed. Shape 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Roll each in breadcrumbs and place in a greased 13x9 dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine soup, milk and remaining onions.

Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and heated through; serve over balls.
