Ground Chicken Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently mix the chicken, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, paprika, onion powder, oregano, thyme, brown sugar, lemon zest, 2 healthy pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Form into mini meatballs, slightly smaller than a golf ball; it should make 28 to 30 meatballs. Warm the butter and oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Transfer the meatballs to the pan and do not disturb for 3 minutes to brown well. Turn, cooking another 3 minutes without disturbing. Keep cooking until browned and cooked on all sides, but still juicy and plump with a spring to the touch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve atop Collard Green Pesto Linguine, if desired.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Blanch collards until bright green, about 1 minute. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to shock, saving the boiling water for cooking the pasta. Remove the collards from the ice water and pat dry with paper towels before transferring them to a food processor.
• Add the linguine to the pot of salted boiling water and cook according to package instructions.
• Meanwhile, in a dry skillet, over low heat, toast the pecans until fragrant. Transfer to the food processor with Parmesan, olives and garlic. With food processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until pesto comes together. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• To serve, put enough pesto to coat the pasta into a large serving bowl. Drain the pasta and quickly add it to the bowl. The water still clinging to the pasta will loosen up the pesto. Toss to coat. Add more pesto, if needed. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl and garnish with Parmesan sprinkled over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine chicken, egg, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, basil, red pepper, garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, and oregano in a freezer-safe bowl and mix well. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to make the mixture firmer and easier to handle.
• Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to form the mixture into about 14 meatballs a little larger than a golf ball. Add a piece of mozzarella cheese to the center of each meatball, making sure cheese is covered by meat. Place meatballs on a nonstick baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, panko, Parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper, and the onion mixture and use your hands to mix until just combined.
• Roll the chicken mixture into 1½-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
• Bake the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Serve with pasta and sauce of your choice.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in saucepan, add onion and garlic.
• Cook onion and garlic over medium heat until tender-about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat, place in medium bowl. Add bread crumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and tarragon. Mix well.
• Add chicken, mix gently with hands to combine all ingredients.
• Form into 1" meatballs, place on cookie sheet (I found it helpful to use parchment paper). You also may want to wet your hands or moisten them with olive oil, the chicken is sticky.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature should be 165 degrees F).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until cooked through, 20-25 minutes. If desired, top with additional chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Mix chicken, cilantro, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper; roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Mix peanut butter, sesame oil, sugar, and soy sauce together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until sauce is heated through, about 1 minute.
• Toss meatballs with 1/2 of the sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with toothpicks and remaining sauce for dipping.
