Cooking Steps
-
Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves and tear into bite-size pieces over a large bowl.
-
Grate Parmesan over a small bowl.
-
In a second large bowl, combine chicken*, panko, mayonnaise, Italian Seasoning, half the Parmesan, salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper.
-
Form into 8-10 1-inch meatballs (16-20 meatballs for 4).
-
Heat 2 TBSP oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium heat. Add 5 meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, 30-45 seconds per side (they’ll finish cooking in next step).
-
Transfer seared meatballs to a plate; repeat with remaining meatballs. Turn off heat; wipe out pan.
-
Add marinara to pan used for meatballs (if your pan isn’t ovenproof, use an 8-by-8-inch baking dish instead).
-
Arrange meatballs in pan, nestling each one in sauce. Bake on top rack until meatballs are cooked through, 6-8 minutes.
-
Remove from oven; carefully sprinkle meatballs and sauce with mozzarella. Return to top rack and bake until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes more.
-
While meatballs bake, halve ciabatta and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Toast on middle rack until cheese melts.
- Add dressing to bowl with lettuce; toss to coat.
- Divide chicken Parm meatballs and cheesy bread between plates. Serve with salad on the side.
