Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until just combined. Roll into small, bite-sized balls.
Cooking
- Place the chicken balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken balls are baking, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Once the chicken balls are done, toss them in the garlic butter sauce, then add the cooked pasta and heavy cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and mix until well combined. Season to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan before serving.
Notes
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of cream or chicken broth to restore moisture. Feel free to add more garlic or experiment with different cheeses for added flavor.
