Chicken parmesan meatballs

Chicken parmesan meatballs are a delicious twist on the classic Italian-American dish. This recipe takes the traditional flavors of chicken parmesan and turns them into perfectly seasoned meatballs that are baked to crispy perfection. The meatballs are made with ground chicken, Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and spices. They are then rolled into balls, coated in more breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, and baked until golden brown.

One of the benefits of this recipe is that it is a healthier version of traditional chicken parmesan. Instead of breading and frying the chicken, the meatballs are baked in the oven, which cuts down on the amount of oil and fat used in the recipe. Additionally, using ground chicken instead of whole chicken breasts also helps to reduce the overall fat content of the dish.

Another benefit of this recipe is that it is incredibly versatile. The meatballs can be served on their own as an appetizer or as a main course with pasta or a side salad. They can also be used as a filling for sandwiches or sliders. The possibilities are endless!
