GOAT CHEESE STUFFED BAKED CHICKEN MEATBALLS



Goat Cheese Stuffed Baked Chicken Meatballs image

I didn't think meatballs could get better, but that was until we added creamy goat cheese to the middle of one! These easy baked chicken meatballs come together quickly. When choosing the cheese, goat cheese is an excellent option, but other cheeses will work well. Consider feta, cheddar or mozzarella. If you use a melty cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella), you might want to consider stuffing the cheese into the middle of the meatball and covering it completely with meatball mixture.

Time 35m

Yield Makes approximately 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (35 grams) bread crumbs, we prefer panko or homemade bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup roasted peppers, finely chopped
1 1/4 pounds ground chicken
2 ounces goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Warm marinara sauce, optional, see our homemade marinara recipe

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, foil or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, stir the breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, salt, egg, milk and roasted sweet peppers. Add the ground chicken and lightly mix. Try not to over mix the chicken, over mixing will result in a tougher meatball, so use your fingers or a fork.
  • Form 16 evenly sized meatballs and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Break the goat cheese apart and press one or two small pieces of goat cheese into the top of each meatball. To help with browning, lightly drizzle the meatballs with olive oil.
  • Bake until they are cooked through, the outsides are browned, and they register 165°F in the middle on an instant-read thermometer; 20 to 25 minutes.

Provided by Stuart O'Keeffe

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup minced red onion
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup minced fresh basil
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 brioche burger buns or hamburger buns
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
Arugula, for serving
Heirloom tomato slices, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet and reserve.
  • Combine the chicken, basil, parsley, oregano, ricotta, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the cooled onions in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands. Splash your hands with some cold water and mold the chicken mixture into 4 patties.
  • Combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the reserved skillet and cook the patties until they're cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side (see Cook's Note).
  • Meanwhile, toast the buns in a toaster or on a dry pan and set aside.
  • Spread the lemon mayo on each side of the buns. Place the bottom of the bun on a plate, top with the arugula, tomato, one patty, goat cheese and finally the top of the bun. Repeat with the remaining patties.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh goat cheese and high-quality ground chicken.
  • For a crispy outer layer, coat the meatballs in breadcrumbs before baking or frying.
  • For a moist and juicy interior, add some finely chopped vegetables, such as onions, carrots, or zucchini, to the meatball mixture.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the meatballs, such as garlic, parsley, oregano, or thyme.
  • Bake or fry the meatballs until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, pesto, or tzatziki.
