Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and stir gently to coat.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, cover, and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve the Chicken Parmesan Meatballs over spaghetti, in a sub, or on their own with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
