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.
