Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground chicken breast
  • ¾ cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 24 oz jar marinara sauce
  • chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan for garnish (if desired)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all listed ingredients except the marinara sauce. Mix well, do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs.
  • Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, portion out meat mixture, roll into balls and place on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Heat marinara sauce and serve on the side.

Notes

I ground the fennel seeds in a coffee grinder that I use only for spices.
