Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients

• Olive oil

• 2 large onions – diced

• 2 cloves of garlic –chopped/smashed

• 1 t salt

• 2 lbs ground chicken Italian sausage (Winco has these in rolls – Isernio’s brand)

• 2 lbs ground hot chicken Italian sausage

• 4 eggs

• 1 cup shredded Parmigiano cheese

• 1 cup grated Parmigiano cheese

• 2 T Italian Seasonings

• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs

• (add a little water if mixture is too stiff)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350.

• In a large pan at a medium high heat add olive oil, onions and season with salt and pepper – cook for about 5-7 min until onions are very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add garlic- cook a minute longer. Turn off heat and cool.

• In a large bowl combine sausage, eggs, Parmigiano cheese, Italian seasonings, and breadcrumbs. Squish together with your hands. Add the onion mixture and squish some more. Season with some salt and pepper. If the mixture is a little stiff add a little water – not too much –just enough to be able to make balls in your hand.

• Shape into the size meatball you like. Put oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides – be gentle when you turn them – use a table spoon. Then put them on a cookie sheet (line with tinfoil for easy clean-up) and bake for about 15 min until they are cooked all the way thru.

Notes

This makes a lot – you can ½ the recipe if you want. I just freeze them – they freeze great!
