Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are little meatballs bursting with Italian Chicken Parmesan flavor. They make a delicious appetizer or the main course of your dinner.

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

These Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are delicious stand-alone or in a submarine sandwich. If you love the flavor of my Best Chicken Parmesan, then you will love those flavors in meatball form.

Welcome to Day #3 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes. Tune in each day starting with Monday, January 20, and ending on Saturday, January 25.

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

For day 3 of Appetizer week, I am sharing these awesome Italian-inspired Chicken Parmesan Meatballs that can be served as a stand alone appetizer with extra marinara sauce, or in sandwiches or sliders.  These little chicken parmesan meatballs have so much flavor but won’t blow your diet….but that can be a secret between you and me. Don’t tell them it is a healthier option than regular meatballs. They will love the taste and will never know that is not a diet-buster. I like to add a little crushed red pepper to give it a little kick, but you can control the level of heat by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper.  It is perfect for watching the big game or any party or get together.  Be warned! You can’t eat just one.  So be sure to make plenty of them because they will go fast.

    These sound delicious. Did you ever make them with just ground chicken or turkey?

    I bring little cucumber sandwiches to family parties. My mother made them when I was little, and then stopped. Many years went by, and I remembered them. I whipped together a batch, and everyone attacked! Now I make them regularly, and they never last more than a few minutes.

    I like the use of chicken sausage. It adds a little spice and flavor to the mix.

    Cheers
