Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, each roughly the size of a golf ball.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the Chicken Meatballs carefully, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Fry the meatballs until they are golden brown on all sides, which should take about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the Chicken Meatballs simmer for an additional 10 minutes. This ensures they are thoroughly cooked inside.
- Once done, remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Notes
TIPS:
1. Always use fresh ground chicken for best flavor and texture.
2. Don’t over-mix the meatball mixture; it can make the meatballs dense.
3. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes.
4. If the meatball mixture feels too wet, you can add a bit more breadcrumbs.
5. Letting the meatballs rest for a few minutes after forming can help them maintain their shape while cooking.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Serve the Chicken Meatballs with your favorite sauce or dip, such as marinara or tzatziki.
They go great on a bed of spaghetti or inside a sub roll for a delicious sandwich.
Add a side of fresh salad to balance the meal and add a refreshing touch.
Another delightful idea is to skewer the Chicken Meatballs with some veggies and serve them as kebabs.
