My Meatballs Are Better Than Your Meatballs



You will need:

- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 3 Mild Italian Chicken Sausages (casing removed)
- 3 Cloves of Garlic minced
- Half of a White or Yellow Onion finely chopped
- 1 cup of Parsley minced
- 3 or 4 slices of your favorite Bread (crusts cut off)
- 1 Egg
- Your favorite Marinara Sauce

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

In a bowl pour in about 1 cup of water or your favorite Chicken Stock. Dip the bread slices in all together so they soak up all the water and then cupping them between your hands, squeeze all of the excess water out.

In a big bowl combine all the ingredients along with the bread and mash together with your hands making sure everything is mixed well. Take enough mixture to make a ball (a little smaller than a tennis ball) in your palm and lay it out on a foil covered baking sheet. Do this with the rest of the mixture and bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile in a pot big enough to hold all of the meatballs, simmer your Marinara sauce. After you remove the meatballs from the oven, add them into the sauce to cook for another 15-20 minutes with the heat turned up to medium.

Enjoy these alone or with your favorite pasta!
