Servings: 4

Ingredients

Ground chicken (1 pound)
Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup)
Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
Egg (1, beaten)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
Marinara sauce (1 cup)
Mozzarella cheese (1 cup, shredded)
Fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and carefully spoon marinara sauce over each meatball until generously covered.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, allowing it to melt beautifully.
Return the meatballs to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
