CHICKEN PARMESAN MEATBALL SLIDERS

Do you ever feel like the world is against you? This morning I woke up feeling subpar fighting off the symptoms of what everyone else at church had on Sunday.

The cherry on top? A huge cold sore on my lip. And my face is peeling because I used too much Retin-A. I look like a mix between the Crypt Keeper and a zombie from the Walking Dead.

I decided to motor through it and workout because sometimes that makes me feel better.

Forgot my phone, had to go home and get it because if there’s nothing worse than working out sick, it’s working out sick…without music.

I get back to the gym and I can’t get in because there were two ambulances blocking the entry.

All was well. Don’t think I’m so heartless that all I was worried about was my workout. My point was that the universe did not want me to work out this morning.

So I didn’t workout. Unless working out is browsing Pinterest on the elliptical, then yes. Yes, I did. 

Even though after the Super Bowl I swore I would never eat again…here we are. In fact, I’ve made these Chicken Parmesan Sliders twice this week because I had leftover slider buns. You know I’m a sucker for anything in meatball form.

These Chicken Parmesan Sliders are homemade chicken meatballs topped with marinara and mozzarella. Add some basil if you have a basil plant in your kitchen and need to use it up before you kill the plant.

Wait? Just me that has a black thumb?

My issue with chicken meatballs is usually the texture. I tested this recipe several different ways and it’s perfect. Not too soft, not hard. Just right.

Notes

I don't always have shredded Parmesan around so if you're using grated use 3/4 cup grated Parmesan in place of the shredded.
