When it comes to watching the Big Game, I have my priorities in order: first, snacks. Then figure out what’s going on with the football.
Chicken Parm Meatballs
This baked chicken meatball recipe is so easy to prepare and will make a tasty addition to your game day spread! Served on their own speared with toothpicks as a finger food or piled on to buns for a sandwich, everyone loves these meatballs.
To make Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, you need . . .
- Ground chicken
- 1 egg
- RAGU New Simply Roasted Garlic Sauce
- 4C Seasoned Breadcrumbs
- 4C Shredded Parmesan
- Dorot Gardens Garlic
- Olive oil
- Oregano, onion powder, parsley and salt
In a large bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add ground chicken, breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, oregano, onion powder, salt, parsley, half of the olive oil and half of the Ragu sauce to the bowl.
Gently mix until just combined. Do not over mix or meatballs will be tough.
Scoop out approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and shape by hand into a ball, then place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture. Leave an inch of space between each meatball.
Whisk together the remaining sauce and olive oil.
Use a basting brush to brush the olive oil and sauce mixture over each meatball. You want each meatball lightly covered but not saturated in the roasted garlic sauce.
Bake the meatballs in an oven preheated to 400 F for 18 -22 minutes until cooked through and firm. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
I served these with the remaining RAGU garlic sauce on the side for dipping. Everyone who tasted them kept coming back for more!
