Sunday Supper Chicken Meatballs

Hello friends, today on the blog, the Sunday Supper recipes continue with this easy chicken meatball recipe. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy or your favorite marinara or cream sauce and pasta. You can also use ground turkey for this recipe. (smile)

What You Need

• 1 ½ Cups Katie’s breadcrumbs (HERE)
• 1 Lb. Ground chicken breast
• 2 Large eggs
• ½ Cup milk *
• 2 Cloves garlic (crushed)
• 1/4 tsp. of salt (optional)
• 1/2 tsp. White pepper (ground)
• 3 Tbsp. canola oil (or vegetable oil) divided
• 1 Cup freshly grated parmesan cheese *
• Large baking pan
• 1 Shallow bowl with lip (I use a pie pan)
• Medium size mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Meat thermometer

Before You Start

Preheat oven to 400 °, coat baking pan with 1 Tbsp. oil, add breadcrumbs to pie dish and set aside.

Let’s Make it!

In the mixing bowl combine eggs, milk and remaining oil and whisk to combine, add garlic, salt, pepper, cheese and chicken. Mix well with your hands (add a bit of oil to the palms of your hands to keep it from sticking) or use a large fork and spoon. Roll about 1 heaping Tbsp. of the chicken mixture in the palms of your hands to create the meatball (smaller than a golf ball), roll meatball in prepared breadcrumbs to coat. Place each meatball about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until the ingredients have all been used. Bake for 15 minutes, turn meatballs and cook for another 10 minutes. Or until golden or light brown and cooked through (please use a meat thermometer to test)

Add these tasty meatballs to your favorite marinara, or cream sauce.  Or serve them with mashed potatoes and gravy like I do! They are great in meatball sub sandwiches too. The chicken meatballs freeze well, so make a bunch and save for a quick meal.

Makes about a dozen

Katies Tid Bits* replace milk with your favorite dairy substitute, if you use a nut-based milk substitute it will change the taste. Try using rice milk or lactose free milk if possible. Use your favorite Parmesan cheese substitute.

Wishing you a peaceful Sunday
