My friend L has just sent me a question because her daughter; “wants a BIG meatball for dinner. Any suggestions? I bought white and dark ground chicken (instead of beef). But really don't know how to even start making a meatball!!!”
SERVES 4
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken, either dark or white, or any combination of both
1 egg
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
approx 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh oregano (or the equivalent dried)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Put ground chicken, egg, parmesan, bread crumbs, garlic, oregano and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix together until evenly combined.
Form mixture into desired size.
In a non stick skillet heat olive oil over high heat.
Put meatballs into pan and cook until evenly browned on all sides. Depends on the size of meatballs.
* This recipe could not be easier to prep or make. And because of its simplicity you can include your kids in the making of them.
** Always remember to wash your hands thoroughly when dealing with any protein in order to stave off food borne illnesses.
I specifically chose this recipe because it is easy to make. Fun. Fast and delicious. I think you will enjoy it L. Let me know.
Do any of you have a question for me; just drop me an email at askachefintraining@gmail.com.
A memorable quote from the movie Meatballs came to mind; “Attention. Here's an update on tonight's dinner. It was veal. I repeat, veal. The winner of tonight's mystery meat contest is Jeffrey Corbin who guessed "some kind of beef."
I’m sure you will enjoy.
Are you dreaming big and inspired?
A la prochaine

Thank you for sharing such a great recipe, and for sure, I'll put it to good work.
The last cooking instruction in your recipe states, "Put meatballs into pan and cook until evenly browned on all sides. Depends on the size of meatballs."
How does one complete the cooking of the meatballs? In the oven at a 350 F temp? Or, on stovetop at a lower temperature?
If the meatballs are smaller in size they will finnish quite quickly in the pan (approx 1 inch) as long as pan is really hot. And you can definitely finnish in the oven. I would do 325 but 350 works. Just make sure that you watch them. You don't want them to dry out.
And yes, you can definitely finnish on the stovetop at a lower temp.
