Chicken Marsala Meatballs

Print Recipe

Chicken Marsala Meatballs are tender, flavorful meatballs simmered in a rich and savory Marsala wine sauce, perfect for an elevated weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the shallot and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer and reduce by half, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Return the meatballs to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or polenta.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream into the Marsala sauce before adding the meatballs back to the skillet.
