Chicken Meatballs 

What You Need:

-1.5 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)

-2 large zucchini (optional)

-24 oz. tomato-basil marinara sauce

-1 yellow onion

-3 garlic cloves

-2 tablespoons oregano

-4 tablespoons GF flour

-2 tablespoons avocado oil

 How to Make:

  • Using a veggie pealer, peal the zucchini to create thin ribbons/noodles. This is optional! If you’d prefer pre-made veggie noodles, go for it!
  • Pour flour onto a small plate.
  • Combine meat, onion, garlic, and oregano in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the meat and seasonings evenly and then roll into 1-inch meatballs. Gently roll the meatballs in the flour and remove excess flour.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and then add in the meatballs, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • Stir in your marinara sauce and let it simmer as you reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir and mix in the meatballs with the sauce.
  • If using the zucchini as noodles, add them to the pan of sauce and meatballs and cook for about 1-2 minutes. If you’re using pre-made noodles, follow along with the boxes recipe and add in accordingly!
  • Top with parsley

Enjoy!!!
