Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 Yellow Onion
1 pound Ground Chicken or Chicken Mince ((SEE NOTES))
2 cloves Garlic (- minced or pressed)
1 large Egg (- lightly beaten)
1/2 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/4 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan (- plus more for serving)
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes ( - plus more for garnish)
½ tsp EACH: Sweet Paprika & Smoked Paprika ((SEE NOTES))
Kosher Salt and Ground Black Pepper
5 - 6 Cups Vodka Sauce (- homemade or store-bought)
8 ounces Burrata

Steps:

  • Preheat oven: Arrange oven rack to lower-middle position. Preheat oven to high broil.
  • Prepare meatball mixture: Grate the onion into a large mixing bowl. To the same mixing bowl, add the chicken, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, Italian seasoning, chili powder, red pepper flakes and both types of paprika. Season with ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together well.
  • Form and roll meatballs: Spray your hands lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Roll and form the meat into firm, golf-ball sized meatballs, roughly 2 tablespoons of mixture each. (You should have about 15 meatballs).
  • Add sauce to baking dish: Pour the vodka sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spray a large oven-safe wire rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place the rack securely on top of the baking dish.
  • Add meatballs to rack: Place the meatballs on top of the oiled rack. Make sure you arrange the meatballs so that they are over the pan and the juices will drip into the sauce. Lightly spray the top of the meatballs with oil.
  • Broil: Broil the meatballs (over the sauce) for 8-9 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and flip the meatballs over. Continue to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add meatballs to sauce: Carefully remove the rack of meatballs from the top of the sauce. Stir the sauce, taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer the meatballs from the rack into the sauce.
  • Bake: Cover the pan and bake the meatballs for 20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
  • Uncover and add cheese: Uncover the pan and break the burrata on top of the meatballs and sauce, evenly distributing the cheese. Return to the oven and bake (uncovered) for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and parsley. Sprinkle with more parmesan and enjoy plain or with your favorite pasta or bread!

SPICY CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH ARRABBIATA SAUCE



Spicy Chicken Meatballs with Arrabbiata Sauce image

This dish was inspired by R+D Kitchen and Milo + Olive, two of my favorite local spots in Santa Monica. Their chicken meatballs in tomato sauce are light but with a bit of heat and served without a strand of spaghetti in sight. Instead, they are ladled over arugula. For my version, I pair my spicy chicken meatballs with an equally spicy tomato sauce: Arrabbiata, which means "angry" in Italian. With fresh basil, bitter arugula, pungent red onion and a little Parm, this dish is perfect by itself, but if you want to push it into hearty territory, serve it over some spaghetti. Pile any leftovers onto an Italian roll for an epic sandwich the next day. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings as a main course or 4 to 6 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 27

1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground dark meat chicken
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
Olive oil, for cooking
2 cups Arrabbiata Sauce (recipe follows), heated
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 bunch arugula (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Mix together the breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, oregano, tomato paste, cayenne, paprika, parsley, Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; add the chicken, milk and egg. Gently blend together with your fingertips, then form into 2-inch balls. Don't compact the meatballs too much or they'll be dense and dry.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil to coat. Add the meatballs and cook until a deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each of their 4 sides. It's OK if they're not fully cooked through, as they'll finish cooking in the sauce. (If you're not cooking them in the sauce, then cook the meatballs over medium heat until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.)
  • For serving: Pour the hot Arrabbiata into the skillet with the meatballs. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the meatballs are fully cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Top with the red onions and Parmesan, then ladle over a handful of arugula in each serving bowl. Garnish with the basil and enjoy!
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the alcohol has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the basil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  • Blend the sauce with an immersion blender (or in 2 batches in a blender) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Makes about 4 cups. Refrigerate any leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
