My Chicken Parmesan Meatball Skillet It’s a go-to for a quick meal on a weeknight at my house. I love serving it over pasta or as a delicious sammie on hoagies. It can also be served as an appetizer with crostini or toothpicks! I can’t wait for you to try this recipe ❤️.
Super moist and delicious meatballs! These ground chicken meatballs are topped with grated Parm and shredded mozzarella.
Wonderful served as a main dish or appetizer! Serve these meatballs as a main dish over pasta or as sammies on a hoagie. Or serve as an appetizer with toothpicks to loosen the meatballs and remove excess sauce.
Serve straight from the pan! These meatballs and sausage are cooked right in the pan, and are best served in the same dish as you’re grilling the cheese until golden brown just before you dig in.
