Tender chicken meatballs simmered in a rich and savory Marsala wine sauce, perfect for an elegant yet easy Italian-inspired dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
  7. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  8. Return the meatballs to the skillet and cook in the sauce for another 5 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through.
  9. Stir in butter until melted and sauce is glossy.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Serve these meatballs over creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, or egg pasta to soak up the delicious Marsala sauce for a complete meal.
