What to Make for Dinner: Chicken Parm Meatballs


I was struck by inspiration on the way home from work the other night.  Before I left that day I had taken some ground chicken out of the freezer, unsure of what to make.   Then it hit me.  Meatballs, but I wanted to make them with a lot of flavor, so what to do….I have fresh parsley….pasta sounds good too..this lead to the creation of the Chicken Parm Meatball

Super Easy.



What you will need:

1 lb of ground chicken
¼ cup of parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
½ cup of bread crumbs (Italian Seasoned*)
½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup of parmesan cheese
Optional Ingredients:
3 tbsp of diced onion
2 cloves of minced garlic
* if you don’t have Italian seasoned bread crumbs, just add 2 tsp of Italian seasoning to plain

How to do it:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees; line a cookie sheet with foil.  Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl and work them together with your hands.   Form the meat into 1 to 1 ½ inches balls and place on cookie sheet.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serving Ideas:
Serve with pasta and tomato sauce. 
Serve with a side of flavored rice and vegetable.
Serve with just a salad.
