In the fresh meat case
Ingredients
1 package PERDUE® Fresh Ground Chicken
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 cups hot pepper or peach pepper jam
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Mix
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray. In a bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Scoop a rounded teaspoon of chicken mixture and roll into a ball. (You should be able to make about 48 meatballs.) Place each meatball onto the baking sheet. Lightly spray the meatballs with cooking spray.
TIP To make rolling your meatballs easier, dip your teaspoon in water before scooping the meat mixture, and the meat will slide right off the teaspoon.
