There are about a million unique ways you can make meatballs, but I have to say, adding some parmesan cheese to get them nice and salty is one of my favourites!

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken (minced chicken)
• ¼ cup bread crumbs
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium yellow onion - diced
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons parsley - diced
• 1 medium egg
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch red pepper (red capsicum) - crushed

Garlic Sauce Ingredients

• 1 medium carrots - grated
• 1 medium yellow onion - diced
• 4 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup heavy cream (also called thickened cream)
• ¼ cup all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK)
• 1 ½ teaspoons chicken stock (chicken broth or chicken bouillon)
• 1 ½ cups water
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch garlic salt

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium-sized bowl, add all of your chicken parmesan meatball ingredients. Mix!
• Now using your hands, form balls out of them, each about 1 tablespoon full.
• Place the chicken parmesan meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the meatballs in the oven for 15 to 25 minutes until the bottoms of the meatballs are golden, and the inside is no longer pink.
• While your meatballs are baking, let’s get going on the sauce!
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a pan, and cook your diced onion until starting to get translucent. Then add your grated carrot. Cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add pressed garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of chicken broth and stir until fully incorporated.
• Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add your heavy whipping cream, constantly whisking so you don’t get flour lumps.
• Add your water, also whisking constantly. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes. If your garlic sauce isn’t salty enough, you can add some garlic salt and salt to taste.
• Once your meatballs are cooked, add them to your garlic sauce, coat them evenly and enjoy with some noodles, potatoes or rice!
