Indulge in the comforting flavors of homemade chicken meatballs, perfectly paired with fluffy rice for a satisfying meal tonight!

1

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). This helps to ensure even cooking for your meatballs.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. This may take a few minutes, so don't rush.

3

Once your mixture is ready, use your hands to shape it into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 16 meatballs.

4

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the meatballs to help them brown nicely. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.

5

While the meatballs are baking, rinse the rice and cook it according to the package instructions, which typically takes about 15-20 minutes.

6

In a small saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat until warm.

7

Once the meatballs are done baking, serve them over the cooked rice, drizzling the warm tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley for a pop of color!
