Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian Herbs (Basil and Oregano)

Sauce

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and Italian herbs. Mix everything with your hands or a spoon until just combined, ensuring not to overmix which could make the meatballs tough.
  2. Form the Meatballs: With wet hands, roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, placing them on a lined baking sheet. This step ensures even cooking and makes handling the meatballs easier.
  3. Cook the Meatballs: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes each batch. You want them beautifully browned for that extra flavor.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside. Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, scraping up any delicious bits. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, then return the meatballs to the pan to coat them in the sauce.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once well-coated in the sauce, serve the Marry Me Chicken Meatballs hot. You can sprinkle a bit more Parmesan and fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance.

Notes

  • Keep it Classic: Stick to the original ingredients for the best flavor experience.
  • Don’t Skip Browning: Brown the meatballs well for enhanced flavor before adding to the sauce.
  • Serve Immediately: These meatballs taste best when served straight from the skillet.
  • Tweak the Cream: Use half-and-half if you want a lighter sauce but still rich.
  • Garnish Wisely: Fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon can elevate the dish’s flavors.
