Prep Ahead Tip – Mix together your ingredients for the meatballs ahead of time (except breadcrumbs). Keep in a covered bowl in the fridge until you are ready to use.
Marry Me Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients for the meatballs:
- 1 pound ground chicken (I like the sweet Italian version from Sprouts)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
Ingredients for the sauce:
- 3 TBS all-purpose flour
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken stock or broth
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- Fresh basil for serving
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Mix together all ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl. Gently mix together- if you over mix it will make tough meatballs (hands work best for this)
- Spray 9 x 13 casserole dish with olive oil spray. Roll the mixture into about 15 small balls (this is a great step to let your kids help with!) Place in equal rows in the casserole dish and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
- While meatballs are cooking, you will make the sauce! Add 2 TBS olive oil to large skillet over medium heat. Saute the garlic for a minute or until it’s fragrant. Add flour to the skillet and whisk together for a minute. Whisk in the chicken stock and seasonings to the skillet. Let cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Mix ¼ cup of your hot liquid with the greek yogurt in a small bowl (this will temper the yogurt so it doesn’t curdle) Turn heat to low and add greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet.
- Remove meatballs from the oven and pour sauce over the meatballs. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes
- Top with fresh basil.
- Enjoy!
