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.

Tips:
- For a crispier coating, double coat the chicken poppers in the breadcrumb mixture. - To make sure the chicken poppers are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165°F (74°C). - Serve the chicken poppers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. - For a healthier version, bake the chicken poppers instead of frying them. - To make a dipping sauce, combine equal parts mayonnaise and sour cream. Add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and a teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir until well combined. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.Conclusion:
