These chicken parmesan meatballs are a delightful twist on the classic spaghetti and meatballs, offering a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Combine the ground chicken, egg, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs dense.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized 1-inch meatballs.
Use a small ice cream scoop to ensure uniform size.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the meatballs to prevent sticking.
Cook the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes per batch.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cooked meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the meatballs gently with a paper towel for a healthier option.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite spaghetti sauce and pasta, or enjoy them as a standalone dish.
Garnish with fresh basil or additional grated parmesan for a touch of elegance.
