Ingredients
0.5 cup plain dry bread crumbs
0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
0.25 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 extra large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cartons Swanson® Crafted Parmesan Chicken Brodo (8 cups)
0.5 cup dry white wine
0.5 cup uncooked acini de pepe or ditalini or orzo pasta
1 head escarole, coarsely chopped (about 10 cups)
0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
0.25 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 extra large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cartons Swanson® Crafted Parmesan Chicken Brodo (8 cups)
0.5 cup dry white wine
0.5 cup uncooked acini de pepe or ditalini or orzo pasta
1 head escarole, coarsely chopped (about 10 cups)
Instructions
Stir breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, cheese, salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and mix thoroughly. Shape the chicken mixture into about 25 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
While the meatballs are chilling, heat the oil in an 8-quart saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
Stir the broth and wine in the saucepot and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium (you'll want the broth to stay at a simmer, not a boil). Add the acini de pepe and cook for 6 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the meatballs and cook for 8 minutes or until cooked through. Stir in the escarole and cook just until wilted. Season to taste. Serve hot with additional freshly grated cheese.
