Como fazer Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), placing the rack in the upper third of the oven.
- In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients (except sauce and cheese) until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them a few inches apart on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Brush the sauce mixture evenly over each meatball.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Remove from oven. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each meatball.
- Top each meatball with a slice of mozzarella cheese (about 1 ounce per meatball).
- Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- While the meatballs broil, gently heat the remaining pizza sauce in a small saucepan on low heat.
- Serve the meatballs immediately, drizzled with extra sauce.
