Time 30m

Yield 15 balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups panko
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fifteen 1/2-inch cubes part-skim mozzarella (from 1 pound piece of mozzarella)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Warmed marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Fill a large Dutch oven or pot halfway with oil. Attach a deep-fat fry thermometer on the side. Heat over medium to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Italian seasoning, egg, 1/4 cup panko, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Scoop out 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture and flatten into a 2-inch circle in your hand. Put a mozzarella cube in the center of the circle. Pat the meat mixture around the cheese to encase it in a ball. Set the ball aside on a plate or baking sheet and repeat with the remaining mozzarella and chicken mixture.
  • Stir together the Parmesan, remaining 1 cup panko and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Working one at a time, toss the chicken balls in the panko mixture until they are completely coated, pressings the panko into the ball with your hands to make sure it sticks.
  • Fry the balls in batches until deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Serve with the marinara for dipping.

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 8 large meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 large egg
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 lemon, zested
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
parsley

Steps:

  • For the breadcrumb coating:.
  • Place the 2 cups of breadcrumbs in a large skillet. Drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle with the dried parsley. Toast over a medium-high heat on the stove, stirring often, until the breadcrumbs are warmed through and golden. Remove from the heat and transfer to a wide, shallow dish.
  • For the egg coating:.
  • In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the egg, water, cornstarch and flour until smooth.
  • For the chicken parm:.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick liner.
  • In a medium bowl mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix very well until combined.
  • Divide the chicken into 8 equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disk, place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the centre of each disk, then wrap the chicken around the cube of cheese. Use your hands to shape each meatball into a cone (like a volcano).
  • Dip each meatball into the egg coating, gently turning it to coat well. Next, dip in the breadcrumbs making sure that every meatball is very well-coated.
  • Set on a lined baking sheet and bake 18-22 minutes until chicken is cooked through. (If you opt for larger meatballs, as seen in the video, you'll need to bake them longer, 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.)
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle pizza sauce on top of each meatball and sprinkle on the grated mozzarella.
  • Set the oven to broil and return the meatballs to the oven to melt the cheese on top (3-5 minutes).
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley.

CHEESY CHICKEN PARMESAN MEATBALLS



Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Meatballs image

This one-dish dinner takes inspiration from chicken Parmesan, but eliminates the fuss of breading and frying chicken cutlets. Instead, chicken meatballs are the star, delivering an equally comforting and satisfying meal. The unexpected secret to these tender meatballs is tofu, which keeps them juicy. Simply press pieces of tofu between your fingertips to create small crumbles that resemble ground meat. The addition of ricotta creates a creamy texture, as well as great flavor. The meatballs are simmered in marinara sauce with red bell peppers, which infuse the sauce with fresh flavor and natural sweetness. Sharp and tangy provolone completes the dish, although mozzarella could be used for milder flavor. Enjoy over buttered egg noodles, or with crusty bread to sop up the sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup crumbled firm tofu (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup ricotta (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound ground chicken (or turkey)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, cored and sliced lengthwise 1/2-inch-thick
3 cups marinara sauce (about 24 ounces)
6 ounces sliced provolone cheese,
Cooked egg noodles or other pasta, for serving
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine tofu, ricotta, Parmesan, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and mix until well combined. Add chicken and gently mix to incorporate. Lightly wet hands to prevent meatball mixture from sticking, then roll into 24 (1 1/2-inch) golf ball-size rounds.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add marinara sauce and meatballs, and stir gently to coat the meatballs in the sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and transfer to the oven to bake until meatballs are cooked through, 20 minutes.
  • Top with provolone slices, slightly overlapping, and bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Serve meatballs, peppers and sauce over egg noodles. Garnish with parsley, if using.
