Butera’s Chicken Meatballs

Prep Time: 20 minutes ~ Roasting Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground chicken
• 2 large fresh eggs
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 450°.
• Combine chicken, eggs, onion, garlic, water, bread crumbs, parsley, cheese, salt and pepper. Blend together.
• Pour oil onto a plate. Dip hands in oil, then shape (roll) into 2-inch meatballs, oiling hands, as needed, to prevent sticking.
• Transfer meatballs to 2 15 ½” x 10 ½” jelly roll pans.
• Place pans on 2 oven racks, and then pour 2 cups of water into each pan.
• Roast approximately 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs lose their pink color throughout and are just golden brown. Enjoy!
