Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
  • Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  6. While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Once the meatballs are cooked, gently toss them in the warm marinara sauce.
  8. Arrange the sauced meatballs on a serving platter.
  9. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a crispier exterior, you can pan-fry the meatballs before tossing them in sauce.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture for a touch of heat.
  • These meatballs can be made ahead of time and reheated.
