Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Return the meatballs to the skillet.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together butter and flour to create a paste. Stir the paste into the simmering sauce to thicken it.
  9. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  11. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can use dried porcini mushrooms rehydrated in warm water, then finely chopped and added to the sauce.
  • If you don’t have Marsala wine, a dry sherry or even red wine can be substituted, though the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your preference.
  • Ensure the meatballs are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
