Enjoy savory chicken meatballs enveloped in a rich, creamy sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and egg. Use your fingers or a fork to gently mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Shape the meatballs: With slightly wet hands, scoop the mixture and form it into meatballs about an inch in diameter.
- Sear them right: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 5-7 minutes, turning to brown on all sides.
- Add the creamy sauce: Once the meatballs are golden, gently pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
- Simmer for flavor: Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Serve & enjoy: Serve the meatballs warm, drizzled generously with sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
