These Parmesan Chicken Meatballs are one of the top recipes that my family adores because they’re lightly crispy outside & tender inside with incredible seasonings throughout!
they are basically classic chicken Parmesan in a fun meatball form.
I have been making this recipe for years
they are so versatile you can make them as appetizers for holidays or special occasions by sticking a toothpick in them or for an amazing dinner served with pasta and buttery garlic bread
everyone loves classic chicken Parmesan, why not turn a traditional favorite into something fun and still just as delicious!?
Personally, i AM OBSESSED WITH THIS RECIPE AND i AM EXCITED TO share this gem with you today
I love these so much more than traditional meatballs, mainly because I get to enjoy chicken Parmesan with my meal with much less effort without sacrificing taste.
I’ve used these for making homemade chicken parmesan meatball subs smothered with sauce and gooey cheese. LITERALLY MOUTHWATERING DELISH!
