Y’all know I love cooking comfort food and it’s hard to pick a favorite. But my daughters’ love my meatballs so that is one dish I cook and eat often at home. I like to switch them up and use different ground meats, cheeses, spices, and sauces. However, my favorite way to cook them always stays the same: brown in my cast iron skillet them pour in a sauce and finish cooking in the oven. 

This week I teamed up with Bertolli and I am sharing my delicious Baked Chicken Parmesan Meatballs with y’all. These meatballs are made in the Tuscan Way of cooking with my favorite Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic Red Sauce and a few other simple ingredients. Francesco Bertolli created a whole brand surrounding the simplicity of the Tuscan Way. The Tuscan Way means you have an authentic, flavorful and elevated meal experience using a few key ingredients and layers of flavor to get a bold taste. 

These meatballs have six classic ingredients and are made in just minutes but they each have a bold and flavorful bite that will make you want more {and more}!

Baked Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Makes approx 15 meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded and divided
  • 24 oz jar Bertolli Pasta Sauce {I used Olive Oil and Garlic}
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil for saute
  • parsley chopped for garnish {optional}
  • cooked spaghetti for serving {optional}

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix together ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. I like to use my hands to make sure it is all combined.
  • Now, scoop out small portions and roll into balls.
  • Place on a plate and set aside,
  • Next, add a swirl of olive oil to a large over safe skillet {I use cast iron} over medium heat.
  • Add the meatballs to the pan in a single layer.
  • Cook for a few minutes then flip so they are browned on both sides. Add more oil if needed.
  • Then pour the jar of Bertolli sauce into the pan, on top of the meatballs.
  • Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top of the meatballs and place the skillet in the oven.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and serve the meatballs and sauce on top of hot pasta if desired.

I love Bertolli sauces and my favorite is the classic flavor: Olive Oil and Garlic.
Mix together ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
I start with a spoon then I like to use my hands to make sure it is all combined.
Now, scoop out small portions and roll into balls.
Place on a plate and set aside,
Next, add a swirl of olive oil to a large over safe skillet
 {I use cast iron} over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the pan in a single layer. 
Cook for a few minutes then flip so they are browned on both sides.
Add more oil if needed.
Then pour the jar of Bertolli sauce into the pan.
Cover all the meatballs. 
Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan
 cheese on top of the meatballs and place the skillet in the oven. 
 
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the meatballs are cooked through.
Meanwhile if you want to serve with pasta cook the drain your pasta. 
We like spaghetti with our meatballs.
Remove from oven and try not your hardest not to gobble up immediately.
Serve the meatballs and sauce on top of hot pasta if desired.

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way.

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica.
