Instructions
Creating Chicken Parmesan Meatballs is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape Meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Remove the meatballs from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce over each meatball and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Broil: Return the meatballs to the oven and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
