Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to blend everything gently, avoiding overmixing until evenly distributed.

Wet your hands lightly with water to prevent sticking. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into compact balls. Repeat until all mixture is used, yielding around 20-24 meatballs.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook meatballs in a single layer for 4-5 minutes each side until golden crust and mostly cooked through. Turn carefully to avoid breaking.

Pour marinara sauce over browned meatballs in skillet. Cover with lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes to complete cooking and meld flavors.

Optionally sprinkle more mozzarella and Parmesan on top of meatballs while simmering, then cover to melt cheese for extra cheesiness.

Notes

Tender, juicy chicken meatballs bursting with melty cheese, nestled in a rich marinara sauce with a perfect Parmesan kick. This recipe is quick, easy, flavorful and perfect for weeknights or guests.
