Baked Italian Chicken Meatball Poppers
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chicken breast
- 1 1/2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 6 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1/2 small onion, grated
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 egg whites
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, but do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs.
- Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, portion out meat and place on baking sheet. After all meatballs have been scooped onto tray, roll into balls. TIP: If you lightly wet your hands the meatballs will form better and crack less.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Remove meatballs from oven and transfer to serving platter to serve immediately, or add to sauce of choice.
