Who doesn't love a spin on a favorite classic dinner? These Chicken Parmesan meatballs totally fit that bill. They carry all the flavor of your favorite chicken Parmesan, but there's no breading or browning involved — just roll and bake the meatballs in marinara sauce for a fast dinner on busy weeknights.
Classic chicken Parmesan may take just 30 minutes to prepare, but it's 30 minutes of hands-on slicing, dredging, browning, and baking. On busy nights, I'll pick a dinner with a few less steps, thank you very much.
Enter these chicken Parmesan meatballs—welcome to the dinner party! My recipe uses freshly grated Parm, airy panko breadcrumbs, and an egg to bind together the herby ground chicken mixture.
Instead of dredging the meatballs in more breadcrumbs for a crispy coating, I prefer to smother mine in a quality jarred marinara sauce and a blanket of provolone. This keeps the recipe a little lighter and saves me some time.
While the meatballs bake, prep some garlic bread, toss together a leafy green salad, and dinner is served! Doesn't get much easier than that!
Enjoy!
