Put on a pair of food-grade disposable gloves, add chicken to the bowl, and mix with your hands until all the ingredients are well combined.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add half the meatballs and brown each side, turning until all sides are browned. Set this batch on a plate, and wipe the skillet clean.
Step6
Repeat with reserved oil and butter, and cook the remaining meatballs in the same way.

Wipe out the skillet again, and pour in marinara sauce. Place browned meatballs in sauce. They will not be submerged.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle on shredded mozzarella and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
