Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are a cozy, crowd‑pleasing twist on a classic Italian favorite. Easy to make and perfect over pasta or in subs!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 egg
- ½ c. seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 24 oz. marinara sauce
- 4 oz. fresh mozzarella sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, half of the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then roll into 1–2-inch meatballs and arrange them in a baking dish.
- Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the meatballs. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Top each meatball with a slice of fresh mozzarella and return to the oven, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve over your favorite pasta with the remaining Italian seasoning, if desired.
Notes
- Fresh mozzarella melts beautifully and adds rich flavor.
- Roll the meatballs the same size so they cook evenly.
- Cover the baking dish to keep the meatballs tender and juicy.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes for a bubbly, golden cheese topping.
- Serve over pasta, in hoagie rolls, or on their own as an appetizer.
