Time 1h10m

Yield 14 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 23

14 cherry peppers, whole pickled
14 balls mozzarella cheese
1 lb ground chicken
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup milk
½ cup bread crumbs
¼ medium yellow onion, minced
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
canola oil, for frying
2 cups marinara sauce
4 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into quarters
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Drain and dry the pickled cherry peppers, then cut off the tops and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds. Place a mozzarella ball inside of each one.
  • Make the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, Parmesan, milk, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  • Take a golf ball-size amount of the chicken mixture and pat it out flat in your palm. Place a stuffed cherry pepper in the center and wrap the chicken mixture around it until completely covered, rolling into a ball. Repeat with the remaining cherry peppers.
  • Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Prepare for frying: Add the bread crumbs to a medium bowl with the Parmesan, dried parsley, garlic powder, and salt. Beat the eggs in a separate medium bowl. Add the flour to another medium bowl.
  • Toss a chicken meatball in the flour, then coat in the eggs, then roll in the bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
  • Heat a large pan with ¼ inch (6 ml) of canola oil over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 400°F (200˚C).
  • Working in batches, fry the chicken meatballs for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light golden brown. Once finished, blot dry with paper towels and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
  • Dollop 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on each ball, then top with a piece of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75˚C).
  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
  • Enjoy!
