High in protein and filled with flavor, these chicken meatballs, cooked in delicious red marinara sauce are the perfect meal prep for the week! Paired with angel hair pasta and parmesan cheese makes them even better!

I could eat spaghetti and meatballs everyday of my life. As a kid pasta with cheese was my favorite meal, my school journals even proved it!!

Meatballs are so versatile, I typically will opt to use ground turkey or ground beef but this time around I wanted to try and use ground chicken! I used essentially the same ingredients I would use for a ground beef or ground turkey recipe (this is how my mom has always made them)

Here Is What You Will Need For This Chicken Meatball Recipe:

Lean ground chicken
Unflavored bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese
Whole egg
Dried minced onion, dried oregano, garlic powder, dried basil
Marinara sauce (I used homemade sauce)

Here Is How You Make The Chicken Meatballs:

In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients except for the marinara sauce!
Use your hands to combine the mixture and form into one inch balls
Spray a large sauce pan with cooking spray and place the meatballs on the pan
Cook over medium heat and brown both sides (they will not be fully cooked)
Add the marinara sauce, bring to a boil, cover and reduce.
Cook on low for 20 to 30 minutes
Serve and enjoy

That is all! My favorite way to enjoy these is with angel hair pasta, some sort of veggie and lots of parmesan cheese! I make this at the beginning of the week and will have them for lunch or dinner for the whole week!! This recipe makes 6 servings!
