INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken Meatball Mix

    • 1 pound ground chicken
    • 🥚 1 egg, beaten
    • ¼ cup low-fat cream cheese
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, grated
    • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
    • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
    • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
    • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • Stuffing

    • 1 cup chopped fresh mozzarella (or as needed)

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2

Combine ground chicken, egg, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, basil, red pepper, garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, and oregano in a freezer-safe bowl and mix well. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to make the mixture firmer and easier to handle.

3

Form into 14 equally sized meatballs using an ice cream scoop. Add a piece of mozzarella cheese to the center of each meatball, making sure cheese is covered by meat. Place meatballs on a nonstick baking sheet.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes.
