Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- 2 ½ Tablespoon Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 cups breadcrumbs plain
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 6 tablespoon fresh basil
- 2 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix until fully incorporated, lightly squishing the meat mixture together to infuse the flavors.
- Using a 2 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, roll into uniform meatballs and place on prepared sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through and reaching an internal temperature of 165F.
- Serve them on their own, tossed with pasta and marinara, or tucked into a sub roll.
Notes
- Use a Cookie Scoop: To ensure a more even portion that helps them cook more evenly.
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing just until combined keeps them tender. Apply light pressure when mixing the meat through your hands to blend all the ingredients together.
- Chill the Mixture: Letting the mixture rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes can help make shaping easier.
- Check Internal Temp: Meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165F for doneness.
- Double the Batch: These freeze well, so make extras for quick meals later.
- Refrigerator: Once cooled, place in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze meatballs cooked or uncooked by lining them on a baking sheet until frozen, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag or vacuum-sealing. Store for up to 6 months.
- Reheating: Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or stovetop in a sauce until warmed through; or bake according to the recipe card.
