Ingredients:
1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Simmer in Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and let them simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs in the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Serve the meatballs with pasta, on a sub roll, or enjoy them on their own, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
