How to Make Sweet And Spicy Chicken Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, gently combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
- While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce: In a food processor, combine bell peppers, olives, oregano, basil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Puree until smooth.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pepper mixture with the crushed tomatoes.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the baked chicken meatballs to the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the delicious sauce.
- Serve the sweet and spicy chicken meatballs hot, as an appetizer, a side dish, or in slider buns. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
