These are absolutely delicious! Depending on the size of your package of ground chicken (1-lb or 1 1\/4-lb) this recipe makes 11 to 12 large meatballs. The second time I prepared these, I made a slight change and added olive oil to the meatballs, and thought the texture was better. Whether for a weeknight dinner or a dinner party you will find these quick and easy to prepare. Enjoy! <\/p>\n

\"Chicken<\/a>

\n1\/2 C. breadcrumbs
\n2 Tbsp. chopped onion
\n1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
\n1\/2 C. Pecorino (or Parm)
\nsalt to taste
\nPepper to taste
\n1 clove garlic, minced
\n1 tsp. fennel seeds
\n1 egg, whisked
\nzest of half a lemon
\n3 Tbsp. olive oil
\n1 14-oz. jar pizza sauce
\n4-oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
\ninto 12 slices<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, setting rack to upper third part of oven. In a large bowl, using your hands, gently mix together first 12 ingredients. Shape into lacrosse-ball size balls and place a few inches from each other on a foil lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix one spoonful of your pizza sauce with a drizzle of olive oil. Brush this mixture on top of each meatball and bake for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove meatballs from oven, spoon some sauce on top of each meatball, and cover each with a slice of cheese. Broil another 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Heat remaining sauce in a small saucepan. Serve meatballs with a dollop of sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
