Sandi, if you use medium-high heat and test turning over just one when lightly browned,
you can judge when to turn them over and then you have to periodically turn them to keep their shape. In other words, you may not have to wait two minutes to brown on one side before turning. I've made tiny cocktail meatballs this way.
Ironically, I bought a box of orecchiette last week to make a veal pasta dish (see link) and it seems to be a really good vessel to hold the sauce like Erin suggested.
I'll post when I make it and would like to try your recipe one day. I love chicken meatballs.
