My husband and I love meatballs, and we love butter chicken. Before an appetizer party, we had the brilliant idea to combine these two loves, and the new creation got rave reviews! Want them as a main dish? Just serve with basmati rice. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

Time 40m

Yield 14 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground chicken
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
pasta, cooked, for serving
sauce of choice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, panko, Parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper, and the onion mixture and use your hands to mix until just combined.
  • Roll the chicken mixture into 1½-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Serve with pasta and sauce of your choice.
  • Enjoy!
