Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
I make these little meatballs whenever we have guests – mostly when we get together to watch sport or when we’re having a games evening. I serve them with a dipping sauce, try chili garlic sauce (Sriracha sauce). No pricing or measurements are given, how many you make is up to you for the people you have over. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- minced chicken
- 1 onion, diced, if making a lot, use another onion as well
- Parmesan cheese, lots (recommended by Lee), grated
- dry bread crumbs, OR make from a shortcut listed on this site
- garlic, finely minced
- parsley, fresh or dried is up to you
- 1 egg, if making a lot, use another egg
- chili flakes, optional
- ketchup, OR make from a shortcut on this site
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 230 C. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Form mixture into balls, size is up to you, and place each meatball on the baking sheet.
- Brush each meatball with ketchup OR chili garlic sauce. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, top each meatball with more cheese and return to the oven for another 5 minutes. Enjoy.
Notes
The bulk of the cost is the minced chicken and the Parmesan cheese, you can make a little amount or a large amount, all up to what your intention is. Here is some suggestions:

- Serve as a snack during a sports game on TV, Sriracha chili garlic sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce would be great for dipping.
- Bake but do not add cheese in the last step, just bake for a few more minutes, add to an Alfredo sauce and spoon over pasta of your choice.
- Make a large batch and serve with buttered egg noodles and a vegetable.

I love your additional suggestions with the Alfredo sauce and the egg noodles. I’ve never thought of doing that 🙂
I like to offer various options 🙂
