Chicken Parmesan Meatballs by Stacie Billis

The possibilities are endless, and we haven’t even gotten to the millions of ways that you can flavor meatballs. Why would we do that when we’ve got the best version right here?

When introducing my Caprese Sheet Pan Chicken, I mentioned wanting to come up with a playful way to include Chicken Parmesan in this book, and if you ask me, nothing is more fun than meatballs. You can serve them small, medium, or giant; as dinner or an appetizer; over pasta, with bread, in a sandwich, or just in a baking dish with sauce and melty cheese on top. The possibilities are endless, and we haven’t even gotten to the millions of ways that you can flavor meatballs.

I stuff these with mozzarella and garnish with grated Parmesan. But I have a confession: I’ve also made these with even more mozzarella melted on top. If you want to do that, too, you’ll need more mozzarella than called for in the recipe. And, yes, it’s worth it.
