  3. Pour in the warm chicken broth and the beaten egg. Use your hands to mix until everything is combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Notes

Can be made ahead and refrigerated. Excellent for freezing. If the mixture is too wet, add more stuffing mix. If too dry, a splash of broth can help.
