Chicken Marsala Meatballs are tender ground chicken meatballs simmered in a rich and savory Marsala wine mushroom sauce. This comforting Italian-inspired dish is perfect for dinners, appetizers, or served over pasta or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground chicken
    1/4 cup breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    3/4 cup Marsala wine
    1 cup chicken broth
    1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.

  1. Form mixture into 1- to 1.5-inch meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides until golden but not cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms and garlic until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Pour in Marsala wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  6. Return meatballs to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  1. Use ground turkey or beef instead of chicken.
  2. Add sautéed onions or shallots to the sauce.
  3. Serve over spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or polenta.
  4. Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
  5. Add fresh thyme or rosemary for extra herb flavor.
