This recipe is a mashup of my family's two favorite Italian dishes - chicken parmesan and spaghetti and meatballs! The result is absolutely delicious and it's now a new family favorite!

Here's what you'll need to make these chicken parmesan meatballs

• Ground chicken
• Eggs
• Shredded parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
• Grated parmesan cheese (this is the shelf staple stuff that is slightly powdery and is different than the shredded parmesan which is also used in this recipe)

That is all that you need to make the meatballs, which can be served just like you would enjoy any other meatball over pasta, pasta substitutes such as zoodles, and topped with your favorite marinara.

I prefer to make this dish one step further and bake it in my Easy Homemade Marinara topped with some shredded mozzarella cheese. There isn't anything much better than melty, and slightly browned mozzarella so I take just about any excuse to add it to my supper!

Tips for making the perfect meatball

Meatballs are super easy to make and almost impossible to mess up, but here are a few tips to help you out with this recipe:

• I recommend using a baking rack to ensure that the bottom of the meatballs stay crisp. If you don't have a baking rack, simply flip the meatballs over once or twice while baking.
• Typical meatballs use bread crumbs as a binder, but since ground chicken is so lean it holds together really well without bread crumbs.
• The downside to using lean meat is that they can become dry which is why adding freshly shredded cheese to the meat mixture is important.
• I like to make these meatballs about the size of a golf ball but you can make them whatever size you like but, be sure to adjust the cooking time up for larger meatballs and down for smaller meatballs.

Can these meatballs be frozen?

These meatballs will keep really well in the fridge for up to about 5 days. But the best thing is that like most meatballs, these are super freezer friendly!

After baking, allow them to cool then transfer them to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months.

To reheat from frozen I like to put them in a baking dish with marinara and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the meatballs are heated through.
