A delectable main dish featuring tender chicken meatballs enveloped in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce. This recipe delivers a comforting blend of savory flavors, perfect for a satisfying dinner that pairs wonderfully with pasta or rice.

 

Ingredients

– 1 lb ground chicken

– 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

– 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

– 1 large egg

– 2 garlic cloves, minced

– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 1 cup heavy cream

– 1/2 cup chicken broth

– 1 tsp dried thyme

– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, finely chopped mushrooms, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Form the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

4. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15 minutes.

6. While the meatballs bake, return the skillet (or use another pan) to medium heat and add heavy cream, chicken broth, and dried thyme. Stir and let the sauce simmer until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

7. After baking, pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the meatballs in the skillet.

8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a handful of spinach to the sauce during the simmering stage. This dish also pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a light salad.
