Easy, delicious, (can be) gluten free, chicken parm meatballs. Chicken meatballs stuffed with mozzarella, and covered with marinara, more mozarella, and fresh basil.

How can you go wrong with chicken meatballs stuffed with mozzarella? And a gluten-free version is even better! I recently bought a Tri-Blade Spiral Vegetable Slicer, and have been making tons of ribboned, and noodled (is that even a word? Well it is now) zucchini. I wanted something heavenly to eat with it, and next thing you know I have these little beauties on the table.

I bought some ground chicken. It was called “chicken sausage” but it was just straight up ground chicken, no seasoning at all. I added my own, a little gluten free panko, stuffed with fresh mozzarella, rolled them in flour (potato flour or other gluten free flour), pan fried them, then baked, and wow! Flavor, fun, and healthy deliciousness.

After I baked them I covered them in marinara and some more fresh mozzarella, and broiled them for just a minute to melt the cheese.

I cooked up my zucchini ribbons with a little water, and enjoyed such a satisfying meal. My kids even gobbled it down and loved it. The fresh basil didn’t hurt much either!

But the beautiful thing about these meatballs is they can be served however you want. Put it in a hoagie with marinara for a chicken meatball sandwich. Eat over noodles. Eat plain. I couldn’t believe how fast and easy it was.

I spent maybe 5 minutes mixing and forming the balls, then 2-3 pan frying them, then about 12 minutes in the oven and dinner was done. While they were in the oven I cooked the zucchini, and I used a bottled spaghetti sauce so that was eazy peazy. So in 20-30 minutes you could have this gourmet looking dinner on your table, ready to serve.

And with how hectic life is, dinner in 20 minutes that is healthy, fresh, and a fun twist on a classic favorite, I say that is a win!

      Thank you. My kids went nuts for these. When I make them again I will make them a little smaller so they are easier for the younger of my kids to handle.

    That is an awesome idea. I’ve tried just about every variation of chicken parm you could think of – except this. Looks like this will be my next effort, thanks!
