Chicken Parmesan Meatball Crostini.
These fun bites are just like chicken parmesan, only instead of the pasta I swapped in a whole grain baguette and sort of reinvented the classic to make a fun Super Bowl (or really, anytime) snack
Ingredients
16 servings
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, pecorino, egg, Italian seasoning and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Roll mixture into scant tablespoon size balls, you should get around 16 meatballs.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle the fresh basil over the bread. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until toasted.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the meatballs and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes total.
- Remove the bread from the oven and top each piece with a little marinara. Add a meatball and then top with mozzarella. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the crostini warm, topped with fresh basil and extra parmesan.
