Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in heavy cream and return meatballs to the skillet. Simmer gently for another 8-10 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and sauce is thickened.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm over pasta or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For extra richness, add a splash of cream at the end or serve with garlic mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious Marsala sauce.
