Italian seasoned chicken meatballs

  Hi and a very Good Day to everyone.

I'm trying to get ahead with meals this week and here's one I have cooking in my crockpot today.


Simmering on low


Meatballs are super easy and you can make them with just about any ground meat you like. Todays are with ground chicken.

Using any ground meat you can easily change a seasoning or sauce.  Make them savory or make them sweet.  You decide.

I make them all ways and season them to a recipe I might decide to make.  I usually use my own suggested amounts and seasonings.  Most are just by our taste.  We are a moderate seasonings family.





This particular one is Italian seasoned.

l lb. ground white meat chicken
1/2 to 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup chicken broth
onion powder(approx 1/2 tsp.) you can add more.
garlic powder (approximately 1/4 tsp.)you can add more.
1 tsp. dried parsley
4 tablespoons parmesan grated cheese  (a first for me) I always use Pecorino romano cheese for my meatballs.
1 tsp. salt
pinch or two pepper 
1-28 oz. can crushed tomatoes.
1 -8 oz. can tomato sauce

In a large bowl blend all ingredients gently.

Place large size meatballs on sprayed cookie sheet

This recipe made 12 large meatballs.

Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

Place tomatoes in crockpot on low.  Add meatballs.  Cook for approximately 4 hours on low.

Serve with a salad, side or rolls.

Enjoy!
