Homemade Chicken Meatballs with Marry Me Chicken Gravy

There’s something undeniably comforting about a plate of tender chicken meatballs, especially when they’re swimming in a rich, creamy Marry Me Chicken gravy. This cozy and satisfying meal is the perfect blend of rustic flavor and easy elegance—a dish that feels like it took hours to make but comes together effortlessly.

Chicken meatballs are a wonderful alternative to traditional beef or pork versions. They’re lighter, still full of flavor, and incredibly versatile. You can season them in so many ways—Italian-style with garlic and parmesan, herby and fresh with parsley and oregano, or simple and classic with salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. No matter how you make them, they become something truly special when paired with Le Sauce & Co.’s Marry Me Chicken gourmet gravy.

What makes this dish shine is the Marry Me Chicken sauce itself. With its velvety texture and layers of sun-dried tomato, parmesan, garlic, and just the right hint of spice, it’s the kind of sauce that clings beautifully to the meatballs. It brings warmth, richness, and a made-from-scratch flavor without the long simmering time. This is the kind of shortcut you’ll be glad you took.

You can serve these chicken meatballs in a few different ways. Over creamy mashed potatoes? Yes, please. On a bed of fluffy white rice? Absolutely. With pasta or even tucked into a warm sandwich roll for a meatball sub with a twist? Also delicious. The key is letting the gravy shine—and letting it soak into whatever base you serve it with.

What makes this such a perfect dinner for any night of the week is how flexible and family-friendly it is. Kids love the tender texture of chicken meatballs, and adults love the grown-up flavor of the sauce. It’s a meal that brings everyone to the table and leaves them asking for seconds. Plus, it’s a great recipe to double and save extras for lunch the next day.

If you’re meal prepping, the meatballs and sauce store beautifully. Make a big batch, freeze half, and you’ll have dinner ready to go when you need it most. Just reheat gently and serve with your favorite side.

For a finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs—like chopped basil or parsley—on top, and maybe a bit of freshly grated parmesan. That little bit of freshness and cheese adds brightness and brings it all together.

Whether you're looking for a comforting dinner, an easy meal prep option, or a new way to use chicken in your weekly rotation, Chicken Meatballs with Marry Me Chicken Gravy is a winner. It’s simple, satisfying, and full of flavor—and best of all, it’s made with a gourmet sauce that tastes like love in every bite

Homemade Chicken Meatballs with Marry Me Chicken Gravy

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Meatballs:

• 1 lb ground chicken

• ½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)

• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

• 1 egg

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning)
  
  

For the Gravy & Serving:

• 1 pouch Le Sauce & Co. Marry Me Chicken Gourmet Gravy

• Cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice (for serving)

• Optional garnish: extra parmesan, fresh parsley or basil
  
  

Instructions:

1. Make the Meatballs:
   In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the mixture. Use your hands or a scoop to form into 16–18 small meatballs (about 1.5 inches each).
   
   

2. Brown the Meatballs:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Brown on all sides for about 6–8 minutes total. The meatballs don’t need to cook all the way through yet—just get them nicely golden. Transfer to a plate.
   
   

3. Simmer in Gravy:
   Reduce heat to low-medium and carefully wipe out excess grease from the skillet. Add the pouch of Le Sauce & Co. Marry Me Chicken Gravy to the pan and warm gently. Once heated, return the meatballs to the pan, spoon sauce over them, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F).
   
   

4. Serve:
   Spoon meatballs and gravy over your favorite base: pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or even roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs or parmesan if desired.
   
   

Extra Delicious Serving Suggestions:
