Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix until the ingredients just come together—avoid overmixing!
- Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about one inch in diameter.
- Brown the Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the meatballs into the skillet, ensuring there’s space in between each one. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
- Simmer in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve & Garnish: Once cooked, serve the meatballs over pasta or rice and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Make-ahead tips include preparing the meatball mixture a day in advance or freezing uncooked meatballs for up to 3 months. Ensure to thaw overnight before cooking.
