Ingredients Meat & Poultry Chicken Ground Chicken Recipes Chicken Parmesan Meatballs 4.1 (42) Prep Time: 30 mins Total Time: 40 mins Servings: 4 For a delicious new take on Chicken Parmesan, try these giant meatballs. Ground chicken stands in for the usual cutlet and the cheese is on the inside, mozzarella oozes out when you cut into a meatball. To keep things a bit traditional, they are served atop spaghetti with marinara sauce. Directions Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken and stir until just combined (do not overmix). In a medium straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium until it registers 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Place remaining 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Divide chicken mixture into 4 portions and flatten each into a disk. Place 4 mozzarella pieces in center of each, then form disk into a ball around cheese. Coat balls in breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown, 5 minutes, turning once. With a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to a paper-towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and let drain 1 minute. Discard paper towels and transfer sheet to oven. Bake meatballs until chicken is cooked through, about 14 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain. Divide pasta among four bowls and top each with marinara and a meatball. Sprinkle with parsley.
