Here’s a lovely little appetizer that you’re going to want to bookmark: Chicken Marsala Meatballs.
These tasty little bites are made with deliciously nutty Parmesan cheese and ground chicken, so they stay moist.
Marsala wine, is a fortified wine from Sicily that gives food, especially sauces, a light sweetness with hints of tamarind and vanilla, and overall deepens the flavor of the dish.
I made Chicken Marsala Meatballs as an appetizer, but you can serve them with the rich wine sauce as a main course over rice or pasta.
Here's the tutorial... the printable recipe follows!
1. Gather your ingredients:
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- ¼ cup finely chopped parsley
- 1 pound ground chicken (I used thigh meat)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup Marsala wine.
2. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese. Place ½ cup on a plate; set aside remaining ¼ cup.
3. Finely chop the parsley; set aside.
4. Place the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper and egg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with your hands or a spoon until well incorporated.
5. Form into 1-inch balls.
6. Roll each chicken meatball in the Parmesan cheese on the plate; set aside.
7. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add meatballs and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often until lightly browned on all sides.
8. Add chicken broth and Marsala wine. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through.
9. Remove from pan and top with remaining cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
