Chicken Pesto Meatballs

Spaghetti and meatballs. An all-time classic. Some people say you shouldn’t mess with the classics, but when I first discovered you could craft delicious chicken meatballs, it all came to me. These are the chicken pesto meatballs, and the dish is a fresh take on a comforting dish we all love.

Meaty & Juicy

Tender and juicy, the secret of these meatballs is mixing basil pesto with breadcrumbs, lots of grated Parmesan, and a few teaspoons of garlic powder before combining the whole thing with lean ground chicken meat. The special ingredient is pesto — and if you can’t buy pesto, you can make your own with chopped basil, minced garlic, a little grated parmesan, salt, pepper, and lots of olive oil.

Marinara Heaven

The resulting meat mixture is easily shaped with your hands, and the meatballs won’t crumble. Tossed in a hot skillet with a little olive oil, they become golden, golf ball-sized bits of heaven. Add your favorite tomato sauce, and you’re ready to go! We love serving this over spaghetti, that’s the traditional way, but these meatballs are lovely with all kinds of pasta. Once you try these delicious chicken meatballs, you’ll never go back to beef!

Italy

Region

Italian cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine consisting of the ingredients, recipes and cooking techniques developed across the Italian Peninsula since the antiquity, and later spread around the world together with waves of Italian diaspora.

Fun Facts

  • Chef Boyardee was a real person, from Italy! Piacenza to be exact.”
  • Italians eat, on average, half a pound of bread daily!
  • The estimated annual pasta consumption in Italy is 70 pounds per person!
  • Tomatoes are not native to Italy; they were brought over from the Americas.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces uncooked whole grain spaghetti
  • 1 1⁄2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • ​1⁄4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons prepared pesto
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ​1⁄4 cup water
  • Torn fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese, optional

What You'll Need

  • Cooking Oil
  • Large sized bowl
  • Skillet
  • Large pot

Recipe

STEP 1

In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, pesto, cheese and garlic powder. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-in. balls.

STEP 3

Reduce heat; simmer, add marinara sauce and cover pan for about 5 minutes until meatballs are cooked through. 

STEP 5

Drain the pasta in a colander and serve on plate. Top with meatballs sauce and garnish with basil. Enjoy!

STEP 2

In a large skillet, brown meatballs over medium heat, turning occasionally. Add sauce and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until meatballs are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

STEP 4

Bring pot of water to boil. Add salt and whole grain spaghetti stir it gently until all the strands sink beneath the water level. Stir again to make sure they’re not stuck together. The longer you cook pasta, the mushier it gets.  Don’t rely on the clock to evaluate doneness; bite a piece instead. If it’s done, it will be firm but tender and cooked through.
