Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl whisk together the panko, parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, egg, dried spices, salt and pepper. Add in the ground chicken and gently combine everything with your hands.
  2. Scoop out approximately tablespoon size amount of the meat mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a plate.
  3. Heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil in large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, swirl the oil to coat the bottom. Add the meatballs to the skillet and brown them for 4-5 minutes before flipping them over and browning another 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the meatballs and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through. Remove the skillet from the oven and top with chopped fresh basil and extra parmesan cheese if desired.
