Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatballs
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
Butter Garlic Sauce
- ⅔ cup Melted Butter
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Using your hands, mix well, and form about 20-24 meatballs, making each meatball about the same size. I would estimate it to be about a 2 inch meatball once complete.
- Place in your air fryer basket. Be sure to spray your basket with cooking spray. About 12 meatballs per basket fit in my air fryer.
- Once your meatballs are evenly distributed in the air fryer, lightly spray the tops of each meatball.
- Air fry your meatballs at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or once completely cooked in the center. (All air fryers cook a little differently)
- While the meatballs are cooking, melt your butter (you can do this in the microwave in a bowl or on the stove in a small pot).
- The butter just needs to be melted and not sizzling or boiling.
- Once completely melted, add in your parsley, garlic powder, and parmesan.
- To a bowl, add your cooked meatballs and butter mixture and gently toss them in the sauce.
Notes
- Freezer friendly - cook the meatballs and let them cool all the way before adding them to your freezer bag.
- Perfect for meal prepping for the week ahead and is delicious on a sub!
- You can completely skip the butter mixture of this recipe.
- Makes a great party snack and is a tasty alternative to parmesan garlic chicken wings.
