Chicken parmesan meatballs

1 lb. Ground chicken breast

1 Onion, finely diced

4 Cloves garlic, minced

1 Egg

3/4 Cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs, divided 

1/4 Cup chopped parsley

1/4 Cup Parmesan, grated

Salt & pepper to taste

1 Cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 Pints of your favorite tomato sauce

Preparation 

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, onion, garlic, egg, 1/4 of the breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan, salt and pepper.  Place the remaining 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.  Using a 1 oz. scoop or your hands, scoop the balls into the breadcrumbs and roll them around to coat.  Transfer the balls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. 

Add the tomato sauce to a large pot on the stove and bring to a low simmer.  Add the meatballs, cover and leave on low for 30 minutes.  When ready to serve transfer the meatballs to an oven safe dish, top with the mozzarella cheese and broil for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.  Makes approximately 4 - 6 servings.
