Indulgent Creamy Marry Me Chicken Meatballs

Creamy Marry Me Chicken Meatballs made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil, then bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are baking, prepare the creamy sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring occasionally.
  • Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer, and reduce heat to low.
  • Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to the saucepan with the sauce.
  • Gently stir to coat the meatballs with the sauce, and allow everything to simmer together for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Finally, stir in fresh parsley just before serving.
