Instructions
- Thoroughly combine ground chicken with seasonings, breadcrumbs, parmesan, and egg in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Gently shape the seasoned chicken mixture into uniform, round meatballs, approximately 12 in total.

- Whisk in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, creating a rich, aromatic base for the Alfredo sauce.
- Return meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce.
- Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to integrate and meatballs to cook thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, prepare hoagie rolls by lightly buttering and toasting under the broiler until they reach a delicate golden color.
- Stir parmesan cheese into the skillet, creating a luscious, velvety sauce that coats the meatballs.
- Carefully place the saucy meatballs into the toasted hoagie rolls, serving immediately for maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Prep these flavorful meatballs ahead of time and refrigerate for easier handling and better texture.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for maximum flavor and smoother melting in the Alfredo sauce.
- Choose high-quality ground chicken with a moderate fat content to keep meatballs juicy and tender.
- Toast hoagie rolls quickly to prevent burning while adding a delightful crispy exterior.
- Simmer meatballs on low heat to ensure they cook thoroughly without becoming dry or tough.
