How To Make Chicken Meatballs

Meatballs come together with a few simple steps. You can also prep these in advance to save time at dinner.

1. First, make the meatball mixture. Mix together all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl – ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. the olive oil will help to keep the meatballs moist since ground chicken is naturally low in fat.
2. Next, shape the mixture into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls, about 12 to 15 meatballs total. Easily double or triple this recipe if you need more. A cookie scoop is an excellent tool to keep on hand for making chicken meatballs.
3. Place the meatballs on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet to keep them from sticking.
4. Bake the meatballs at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until cooked through. These meatballs are done when a digital meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatballs reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Serve the meatballs over pasta with sauce, in subs or with a cocktail meatball sauce.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Mix with your hands, and do not overmix! Overmixing is usually the culprit when your meatballs have a dense texture. Using your hands will help you keep from mixing too much.
• Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Freeze, tightly wrapped, for up to two months. Bake from frozen until warmed, or toss into bubbling stovetop sauce.
• You can also freeze these meatballs raw. Freeze raw meatballs for up to three months, and cooked meatballs for up to two months. Cook through before adding to your sauce.
