INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten
    • 🧀 ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 ¾ cups Italian-style panko bread crumbs, divided
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 🍗 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 🌿 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley (Optional)

STEPS

1

Stir egg, grated Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup panko crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl.

2

Put on a pair of food-grade disposable gloves, add chicken to the bowl, and mix with your hands until all the ingredients are well combined.

3

Place remaining 1 cup panko crumbs on a plate. Using a 1-1/2-inch scoop, create about 24 meatballs. Gently roll each meatball in crumbs until lightly coated; set aside on a plate.

4

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

Place 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add half the meatballs and brown each side, turning until all sides are browned. Set this batch on a plate, and wipe the skillet clean.

6

Repeat with reserved oil and butter, and cook the remaining meatballs in the same way.

7

Wipe out the skillet again, and pour in marinara sauce. Place browned meatballs in sauce. They will not be submerged.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle on shredded mozzarella and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
