Description
Simple recipe for ground chicken meatballs mixed with finely chopped mushrooms.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped mushrooms, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into uniform balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get about 18-20 meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Notes
- You can substitute white mushrooms for cremini mushrooms.
- For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh, chopped parsley to the meatball mixture.
- These meatballs freeze well after baking. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
