Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Cooking

- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then move them to a plate.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute until tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scrape up the browned bits, add the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the meatballs reach 165 degrees F.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Nutrition is an estimate for 1 of 4 servings. Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer so the cream does not separate. Ground chicken must reach 165 degrees F.
