Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Unlike a lot of Chicken Parmigiana recipes, I’m using baked my Chicken Meatballs recipe rather than pan-fried chicken filets. It’s much easier when cooking for a crowd rather than the traditional Chicken Parmigiana.

Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Chicken Boneless thighs or breasts
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Cup Flat-Leaf Parsley Finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Basil Or 2-Tablespoons Fresh Basil, finely chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup White Onion Finely chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Crushed and chopped
  • 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/4 Cup Milk Or half & half
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese Grated

Crust

  • 1/2 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil

To Bake

  • 1 Quart Marinara Sauce
  • 8 Ounces Low-Moisture Mozzarella Cheese Grated
  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • In a large bowl crack 2 eggs, whisk until thoroughly scrambled. Add the Panko bread crumbs, herbs, and milk, mix well. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to form golf ball-sized meatballs, roll the meatballs in your hands to make them nicely rounded
  • Wash your hands again, otherwise, the crust ingredient will completely cover your hands rather than the meatballs
  • Roll each meatball in the crust ingredients and space evenly on a sheet pan
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes until an instant-read thermometer shows an internal temperature of 165°F
  • While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan until simmering
  • Place the cooked meatballs in an oven-proof serving dish or skillet, cover with warm marinara sauce, sprinkle with cheese and place under a broiler until the cheese is nicely melted
