I used part skim mozzarella cheese for these meatballs. It is easy to cut into cubes and will not melt too quickly when the meatballs are cooked.

How to make Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Meatballs

Step 1: Prepare mozzarella stuffed meatballs

To begin, preheat oven to 350F. Add ground chicken, egg, almond flour, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper to a mixing bowl.

Then, mix to combine thoroughly with a spoon or your hands. With wet hands, roll out 8 meatballs using about 2 tbsp of mixture for each meatball.

Place meatballs on a tray and cut part skim mozzarella into cubes. Stuff each meatball with a piece of mozzarella.

Step 2: Brown stuffed meatballs and bake

Then, heat oil in a cast iron skillet. Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes until the meatballs are browned on all sides.

Place cast iron skillet in the oven to bake at 350 for 13 minutes.

Step 3: Add sauce, heat, and serve

Finally, take the meatballs out of the oven and pour the sauce into the cast iron. Heat the sauce and meatballs over medium-low heat until the sauce is warmed through.

Serve meatballs with fresh parmesan cheese on pasta.

How to store and reheat these cheese stuffed meatballs

Store the cooked chicken meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove top in marinara sauce over medium-low heat.
