1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 egg

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder

2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 oz spaghetti or your favorite pasta

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Chicken Balls:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.

      - Form the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter.

        Cook the Chicken Balls:

          - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

            - Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

              Prepare the Pasta:

                - While the chicken balls are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

                  Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:

                    - In the same skillet used for the chicken balls, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

                      - Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.

                        - Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

                          Combine and Serve:

                            - Add the drained pasta to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat well. Gently fold in the garlic butter chicken balls.

                              - Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
