To make the rissoles, mix the chicken with the onion in a bowl, then add the parsley, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs and water.
Mix well to combine, using your bare hands if necessary.
With wet hands, roll the meat mixture into balls.
Heat 1/2" of oil in a frying pan and saute the rissoles on both sides until they turn colour.
Remove to a plate.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the oil remaining in the pan.
Add the onion and garlic and saute until transparent.
Add the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.
Return the rissoles to the pan, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Serve over your favourite pasta.
