  • 16 oz Ground Chicken
  • ½ cup Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ cup Parmesan grated
  • 1 large Egg
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley or 1 teaspoon dry
  • ½ teaspoon Dry Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 2 cups Marinara Sauce
  • ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix gently until just combined.

  • Shape the meatballs: Form the mixture into 16 meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatballs: Cook for 18–20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly golden. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Add sauce and cheese: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Place the baked meatballs on top, pour remaining sauce over them, and sprinkle with mozzarella.

  • Serve: Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil or parsley. Serve with pasta, over rice, or in sub rolls for sandwiches.

Notes

Tips & Variations

  • Crispier meatballs: Sear meatballs in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before baking.
  • Extra cheesy: Mix a little mozzarella into the meatball mixture for gooey centers.
  • Meal prep: Store cooled meatballs in sauce in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 2 months.
