Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release browned bits. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in butter until melted and smooth.
- Return meatballs to the skillet and coat with the Marsala sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.
- Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream during the final simmer. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta for a hearty meal.
