Chicken Meatballs

We recently had an open house in our new home. It was nice to finally get to meet some of our neighbors.  I made these meatballs and they were a hit!

The Recipe

1/2 white onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, pressed

1 T.  olive or canola oil

3 lbs. ground chicken

1 c. panko bread crumbs

1 egg or 2 egg whites

2 T. dried parsley

salt and pepper to taste

Pasta sauce, I like to use the 45 oz. Ragu, Traditional sauce

I started out sauteing the onions and garlic until almost soft.

I then mixed all the ingredients together, and formed the mixture into golf-ball sized meatballs.

I baked them on a foil-lined sheet for about 20 minutes, at about 350 degrees, then finished cooking them in the pasta sauce over the stove.

They kept very nicely in the refrigerator for two days.  The day of the party, I heated it over the stove, and then put it in a crock pot to stay warm. I served it alone, but you could get some nice italian rolls, and make meatball sandwiches as well.

Enjoy! ~Nancy
