Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 large skillet or frying pan
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cooking thermometer (optional)
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until just combined.
  • Form the chicken mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  • While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Once the meatballs are done baking, carefully transfer them to the skillet with the sauce. Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Serve the Chicken Marsala Meatballs warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, you can cook the meatballs in the skillet for a crustier outer layer before adding the sauce.
Serve with pasta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious Marsala sauce.
