Ingredients

1 large Egg

3 tablespoons Fresh parsley chopped

1 tablespoon Tomato paste

1 clove Garlic

1/4 cup Milk

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper

1 pound Ground chicken not extra lean all-breast

1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese grated

1/4 cup plus 2 tbs Bread crumbs Italian style

1 1/2 tablespoons Tomato paste

1 1/2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

3/4 teaspoon Sugar


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°. 2. In a large bowl, combine first seven ingredients (through pepper). Mix well with a wire whisk, making sure the tomato paste is completely dissolved. 3. Add ground chicken, grated cheese, and breadcrumbs. Use your hand to mix the ingredients together; it will be somewhat wet. Form medium-sized balls and place into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish. 4. Make the glaze by combining the last four ingredients in a small bowl. Brush evenly over the meatballs. Bake for about 30 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball registers 160°F. Remove from the oven and serve. Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked meatballs can be frozen, with their glaze, for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat them, tightly covered with foil, in a 300° oven, until hot in the center.
