I love meatballs so much and this recipe for chicken parmesan meatballs is a must-try at home. The chicken parmesan take on it just takes the meatballs to another level.
1 ½cupschicken stock (chicken broth or chicken bouillon)
4tablespoonstomato paste
½teaspoondried basil
½teaspoondried thyme
½teaspoonsugar (white sugar) - unrefined
1tablespoonolive oil
Instructions
Add all of the meatball ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well to combine the meat with the seasonings.
Add all sauce ingredients to a wide-bottom pot or pan (wide enough to hold all meatballs in a single layer). Bring to a simmer. It might not initially seem like much sauce, but it will be enough.
Form the chicken mixture into meatballs (approximately 1-inch diameter) and drop each one into the sauce as you go. This process takes me about 6 to 8 minutes by hand.
After adding the last meatball to the sauce, simmer gently for 15 minutes until all meatballs are cooked. Mix the meatballs around periodically as they’re cooking to ensure they cook evenly and get coated with sauce on all sides. As the meatballs cook in the sauce, the parmesan and other flavours in the meatballs blend into the sauce to make it flavoursome.
