Chicken meatballs

Updated photos 5/6/2024

If you’re looking for using chicken instead of beef for your next meatballs here’s my new recipe.

In my opinion ground chicken seasonings have to be bumped up for flavor and moistness.  Chicken can be dry and you’d like your meatballs to be as moist as possible.

I lb. Healthy ground chicken

1 egg beaten

2 cloves minced garlic

3/4 to 1 cup  seasoned panko breadcrumbs 

1/2 tsp. Onion powder

1 tsp. salt

Some pepper

1/2 cup pecorino Romano cheese

1/4 cup dried parsley

A little chicken broth(optional)

Mix all above ingredients. Mixture will be soft so rub a little olive oil on the palms of your hands to roll easier.

Place meatballs (you decide what size) on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. 

Note:  One lb. Of ground chicken usually makes about 1dozen large meatballs.

Bake 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes . Remove from oven.

After cooling  freeze meatballs in large freezer bags until needed.

Todays meatballs I added to my fresh sauce.

Enjoy!
