Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing or frying)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sauce)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup cooked lentils (optional, for added texture)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for sauce)
  • Extra parsley and mozzarella for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray or grease a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into meatballs.
  3. Place meatballs on tray, brush with olive oil, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic and sauté. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Simmer until thickened.
  5. Add mozzarella and cooked lentils. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
  6. Pour sauce into a baking dish, place baked meatballs on top, sprinkle more mozzarella and parsley. Broil for 3–5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat to keep the texture tender.
  • You can pan-fry meatballs before baking for extra crisp.
  • Substitute lentils with cooked quinoa or omit for a smoother sauce.
