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.

    New subscriber from Strut Your Stuff Saturdays at Six Sister’s Stuff. My mouth is w-a-t-e-r-i-n-g. If I had chicken sausage I’d not be commenting on your blog right now because I would be in the kitchen cooking up a batch of these gems!

    I’m confused… chicken sausage is the main ingredient, but the shape isn’t anything like a meatball. How do you turn your 1lb of chicken sausage into meatball shapes? Are you supposed to get ground chicken? This doesn’t make sense to me.

      Hi, you remove the chicken sausage from its casings. Then you can shape it into meatballs.

    These look delicious and sound easy to make (my kind of recipe). I better plan to double — or triple — the recipe because my teenage son will love these meatballs!
