I love chicken Parmesan, but come party time serving a plated meal is too much work.
The perfect solution is a a popable meatball. Made with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese this is a meatball to remember.
Pop 'em, serve 'em over pasta or eat 'em on a sub.
Game day definitely calls for finger food. Hearty finger foods are my favorite. Chicken nuggets, bites and meatball poppers are at the top of our list.
Even when it is not game day or a party we have a dinner full of yummy finger foods from time to time.
It is really fun to mix things up and I have found that when it is bite size, my picky family seems to enjoy it even more.
I myself have an affinity for meatballs and love getting creative with them.
As a matter of fact our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now} is loaded with 80 new recipes and 4 brand new meatball recipes. I ❤ meatballs!
Chicken Parmesan is likely an Italian favorite in every household, but I especially love dishes covered in sauce and cheese.
So it was only a matter of time before this fabulous dish was transformed into a meatball popper.
Tender and flavorful ground chicken is combined with lots of herbs and Parmesan cheese, baked to perfection.
Once the meatballs are golden brown they are drizzled with marinara sauce and covered in cheese. That’s amore!
These meatball popper go from prep to plate in just 30 minutes. They are one of our favorite make ahead freezer foods.
I make a triple batch of meatballs, bake them and freeze them.
I portion them out into about 20-24 meatballs per package then freeze them in resealable plastic bags. To prepare: simply thaw and cook for 10 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Helpful Tips to make Chicken Parmesan Meatballs:
- Mix until just combined. Overmixing will create a tough meatball and that isn't good for anyone.
- You can substitute dry herbs and spices if you are in a hurry. See my recipe notes for details.
- Use a scoop to make uniform-size meatballs; this way you handle them less and they will cook evenly.
- If you lightly coat your hands with olive oil before rolling the meatballs, they will form better and crack less.
- Make a few batches of meatballs ahead and freeze them for easy dinners. To freeze, allow meatballs to come to room temperature and place in a freezer bag. I like to flash freeze them on a cookie sheet and then transfer the frozen meatballs to a freezer bag. It makes it easier to grab as many meatballs as I need.
What you will need to make Chicken Parmesan Meatballs:
- 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop – perfect for meatballs, cookies, ice cream for portioning out leftovers! I have had this set for years and use them all the time.
- Jelly Roll Pans (baking sheets with sides) - used for everything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.
- Parchment paper for easy work and no fuss clean up.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
