Description
Delicious soft chicken meatballs in a rich garlic-Parmesan cream sauce, perfect for serving over pasta or rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for the sauce)
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a plate or tray.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and brown on all sides for about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return meatballs to the skillet and cover, simmer for 8-10 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
Notes
Serve with a side salad for a balanced meal. Brown meatballs in batches to ensure even cooking.
