Homemade Cheesy Chicken Meatball

My kids love these cheesy chicken meatballs. I made extra for my husband when he get home from his game night. These cheesy meatballs could be for meatball subs, meatball sandwiches, meatball pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs.


I used 1 1/2 - 2lbs ground chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, dash red pepper flakes black pepper, Italian seasoning, seasoning sauce. Then mixed with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Gouda cheese, fresh chopped parsley. Shaped to mini meatballs and coated them with seasoned breadcrumbs.






Cooked meatballs in olive oil on each side about 3 to 4 minutes. I laid them on a line paper towel to get rid of the excess oil. I made my pasta sauce.
Couple tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 clove garlic, minced
less than half cup red wine
1 can crushed tomatoes
tomato paste
chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste



Heated olive oil in the same pan that I cooked my chicken meatballs. I added onions, stirred and cooked for 8 minutes, then added in garlic and cooked for 2 minutes. Added the wine and cooked on high heat for about 4 minutes. Stirred in tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, salt, pepper and other herbs. I added tablespoons of cream, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Then added in meatballs to the sauce, covered and simmered on low heat for half hour. Served with cooked pasta and topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
