Chicken Cheesy Meatballs
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
1 pound ground all-white meat chicken
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
14- ounce pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 jars tomato sauce
Directions:
1. Over medium heat, heat up two jars of tomato sauce.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, chicken, egg, milk, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and flat-leaf parsley. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
3. Roll the prepared mix into medium sized meatballs, about 2-3 inches round.
4. Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the middle of each meatball, and maneuver the meat around the cheese so that all of the cheese is covered.
5. Place the meatballs in the tomato sauce and simmer until cooked through.
These meatballs have become a staple item in my house. One day, my mom and I were watching Rachael Ray after school. It just so happened that she was making this dish and we both said that we had to try it. Ever since, we make this dish weekly.
My sister and I do not eat red meat and tended not to like the texture of meatballs, so we were hesitant to try this recipe. However, they are absolutely delicious! They are the perfect italian meal and go well with pretty much anything.
We've eaten them over pasta, made meatball subs out of them, or just had them alone with Caesar salad. Any way you eat them, you can not go wrong.
We also make them for holidays and freeze the extras. We make large amounts of them every time we make them and freeze the remains for left overs in the future.
If you or your family are Italian lovers, be sure to try out this amazing recipe. Thanks Rachael Ray!
