Crispy Parmesan Chicken Meatballs – one of the most scrumptious Italian dishes, but in meatball form! These meatballs are not only flavorful, but super crispy! Very easy to make and perfect as an appetizer for parties or pairs well with spaghetti squash or spaghetti noodles.


Super Crispy Parmesan Chicken Meatballs

These chicken meatballs are truly the best meatballs I have had in a long time. Each crispy, savory bite made my taste buds dance. And when your taste buds dance – you are simply one happy camper!
These Crispy Parmesan Chicken Meatballs are baked in marinara sauce and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. Serve this with thin spaghetti, traditional spaghetti, or with spaghetti squash for a light, lower calorie and lower carb option.

Low-Carb Option and Kid Friendly Dish

Two wonderful things about these Crispy Parmesan Chicken Meatballs:
  1. They are perfect as an appetizer to be served with sliced bread or as a main course. As a main course, I recommend serving with spaghetti squash to not only keep it a lower-carb option, but also keep the calories down.
  2. It’s kid friendly! If your child loves foods like chicken nuggets, chicken fingers, or a form of crispy chicken, then its a possibility that they will love this as well!
    If not, I recommend trying my Baked Crispy Spicy Chicken Nuggets! Simply omit the hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and chili powder to have plain, crispy chicken nuggets.
