Chicken Marsala Meatballs

Deliciously tender chicken meatballs simmered in a rich, savory Marsala wine sauce, perfect for a comforting Italian-inspired dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté onions and mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.
  6. Return meatballs to the skillet. Spoon sauce over them, cover, and cook for an additional 10 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.
  7. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve with pasta or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious Marsala sauce.
