Baked Chicken Meatballs Recipe
- 3 slices Italian bread torn into small bits (1 cup)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 ounces ounces sliced pancetta Canadian bacon or bacon
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 large egg
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste divided
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Preheat oven to 400°F. Soak bread in milk in a small bowl until softened, about four minutes.
Cook up the pancetta (or bacon), onion, and garlic in one tablespoon oil with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat until onion is softened. (This is the step that may lead neighbors to knock and your door and strike up a conversation in the hopes that you will invite them in for a bite of whatever it is you’re cooking).
Cool the mixture slightly.
Squeeze bread to remove excess milk. Lightly beat egg in a large bowl, then combine with chicken, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, pancetta mixture, bread, and parsley. Form 12 meatballs and arrange in another 4-sided sheet pan (Smitten used a 9×13 roasting dish).
Stir together remaining tablespoons of tomato paste and oil and brush over meatballs), then bake in upper third of oven until meatballs are just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes
