Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 lb ground chicken
• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 large egg
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• optional fresh basil
• to taste kosher salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Mix chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper until just combined.
2. Roll into 18–20 meatballs. If the mixture is sticky, lightly oil your hands instead of adding more breadcrumbs.
3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs for 2–3 minutes per side; they will finish cooking in the sauce.
4. Pour marinara around the meatballs, spoon a little over the tops, and sprinkle with mozzarella.
5. Bake 12–15 minutes until meatballs reach 165°F and cheese is melted. Top with basil and serve with pasta, bread, or a salad.
