Cheesy Skillet Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

 

Ah! Cheesy Skillet Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are a delicious twist on conventional fowl parmesan, but in bite-sized meatball form and cooked proper in a skillet with a gooey cheese topping. Here’s a solid recipe for you:

Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Meatballs:

1 lb (450g) floor bird

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Italian pro preferred)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

half tsp salt

1/four tsp black pepper

2 tbsp chopped clean parsley (non-obligatory)

For Cooking:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 half of cups marinara sauce (keep-bought or home made)

half of cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the meatballs:

In a big bowl, combine floor chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix gently till simply blended (don’t overmix or meatballs get hard).

2. Shape the meatballs:

Roll the combination into 1 ½-inch meatballs. You must get about 12–16 meatballs.

3. Brown the meatballs:

Heat olive oil in a big oven-secure skillet over medium warmness. Add the meatballs and prepare dinner for 3–4 mins on each side till golden brown. They don’t want to be absolutely cooked via at this level.

 4. Add the sauce:

Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs, reduce heat to low, and cowl. Simmer for 10–12 mins until meatballs are cooked thru (internal temp a hundred sixty five°F / seventy four°C).

5. Add the cheese:

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the meatballs. Cover once more and let it soften for two–3 mins. (Or, if your skillet is oven-safe, pop it beneath a broiler for two mins for a golden bubbly top.)

6. Serve:

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve with spaghetti, garlic bread, or a facet salad.

💡 Tips:

For extra flavor, you may add a pinch of pink pepper flakes to the sauce.

Using panko breadcrumbs rather than normal gives meatballs a lighter texture.

You can also stuff the center of every meatball with a small mozzarella dice for an oozy marvel!

If you want, I also can come up with a top notch brief 20-minute model that’s simply as tacky and scrumptious, perfect in case you want it fast on a weeknight.

Do you need me to do this.
