Chicken Marsala Meatballs

  4.0 – 3 reviews  • Chicken

This delicious marinade adds flavor to boring chicken dishes. But you could also use this on turkey, salmon, and pork chops! I served the brown rice that I used to prepare this dish with a sauce created from some of the leftover marinade. DELICIOUS!!!

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 4 leaves fresh sage
  3. 1 pound ground chicken
  4. 1 egg
  5. ¼ cup almond flour
  6. 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  7. 1 teaspoon dried sage
  8. 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  9. 1 teaspoon sea salt
  10. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  11. 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  12. 1 large shallot, minced
  13. 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  14. ⅓ cup Marsala wine
  15. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  16. 2 teaspoons arrowroot flour

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in olive oil and heat until very hot. Add sage leaves; fry until crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer sage leaves, using tongs, to a plate lined with paper towels. Remove skillet from heat, reserving oil.
  2. Mix ground chicken, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Form into balls using an ice cream scoop, a tablespoon, or your hands.
  3. Reheat oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and shallot; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir chicken broth, Marsala wine, butter, and arrowroot flour into the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring once, until sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.

I made these meatballs with beef and the only thing I changed was are used cornstarch they came out fabulous so delicious

I should’ve followed my instincts more & the recipe less. It was pretty good, but not worth the effort. I subbed with ground turkey. Added the egg & wondered why; had to add 1/4c breadcrumbs, but it wasn’t enough. Too soft so most fell apart I couldn’t get myself to put sage in Chicken Marsala, thank goodness. The other reviewer not meatballing is a good idea.

I liked this recipe a lot. Made it the second time without forming into meatballs, just scramble frying the ground chicken. It is a nice quick dinner!
