By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1 T parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 T olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
• 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In large bowl thoroughly mix together ground chicken, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, parmesan, salt/pepper, garlic and egg.

Shape meatballs a tad larger than a golfball, place meatballs at least 1" apart on baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and marinara sauce. Reserve 1 cup for plating. Spoon remaining sauce atop of each meatball.

Bake 15-20 minutes depending on your oven, on upper 1/3 of oven.

Take baking sheet out of oven and place fresh mozzarella on each meatball.

Broil 3-5 minutes until cheese has melted.

Heat remaining marinara sauce, and use under meatballs when serving.
