Meatballs Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, salt, pepper, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly and roll into meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides for approximately 8–10 minutes.
Sauce Making
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onion, carrot, and celery over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Braising Meatballs
- Return the meatballs to the skillet with the sauce and simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes over low heat until cooked through.

- Stir in butter and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Serving
