Time 40m

Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk, room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Marsala wine
1 pound ground white meat chicken
1/4 cup grated pecorino, plus extra for serving
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 large shallot, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons flour
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, milk and 1 tablespoon Marsala. Leave to soak for 5 minutes. Add the chicken, pecorino, egg, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. With your hands, gently mix together the ingredients until just combined. Form the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are beginning to brown and are just barely cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • In a straight-sided skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms are brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for another 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the 1/3 cup Marsala and stir until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors blend. Serve hot, garnished with grated pecorino.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I've made these meatballs several times now, and they're always a hit. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The meatballs were still very good, but I think the mushrooms would have added a nice umami flavor.

These meatballs are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is to die for.

I made these meatballs in the slow cooker, and they came out perfectly! I just browned them in a skillet first, then transferred them to the slow cooker with the sauce. Cooked on low for 6 hours, and they were fall-apart tender.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of Marsala wine, so I used white wine instead. The meatballs were still very good, but I think the Marsala wine would have added a nice depth of flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked them.
