Ingredients Needed

Ground Chicken: Chicken meatballs are made with ground chicken. If you want to switch it up, you can use ground beef or ground turkey instead! Egg: To help the meatballs stay in a ball! Spices: To spice these meatballs up to perfection, you just need onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Parsley: Fresh parsley adds a nice, fresh flavor. If you don’t have fresh, dried parsley can work in a pinch. Panko Breadcrumbs: Help to create a tender meatball! Parmesan Cheese: Is added for flavor. I highly recommend grating the parmesan cheese yourself! Worcestershire Sauce: Worcestershire sauce adds a hint of umami and tangy flavor. Whole Milk: For moisture!

How to Make This Recipe

Tips for Success

Don’t over mix! When making the meatball mixture, make sure you don’t over mix the ingredients. Just mix everything until it is combined, and gently form the meatballs. This will ensure tender chicken meatballs, instead of tough or rubbery ones! Watch them while under the broiler! I like to broil them at the end just to get a little more color and crust on the outside, but please keep an eye on them and don’t let them burn during this part. If you prefer, you can make these meatballs with ground turkey for a similar flavor. You can also make them with beef or even pork, but these will be a lot richer in taste!
