This chicken Parmesan meatballs recipe is a game-changer!

I call this recipe a “high ROI” (return-on-investment) recipe. With only 4 ingredients (and a few additional seasonings) and in no time at all, you have something nourishing and delicious.

These meatballs are a perfect, high-protein healthy snack, lunches, or adding them to a pasta or gnocchi dish for a quick and easy dinner.

I love having a batch of these chicken parm meatballs in my fridge most week.

Even if I’m not sure how or when I’m going to use them, (slash I’m on my A-game), I go ahead and made them because I always end up using them.

And, yes, they freeze great so doubling the recipe is always a good idea.
