Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
This
recipe is so simple and delicious. Just a few notes about it... Ground
chicken is very soft and is hard to form into meatballs. But, once you
get them rounded, they will keep their shape. Alternatively, you can also
substitute ground turkey. I used pizza
sauce in this recipe as opposed to marinara because it is significantly lower
in carbs but produces a similar flavor. You can find my pizza sauce recipe - HERE. When using a store bought sauce, make sure to read your labels and
find a sauce that is a low-carb, reduced sugar version if available.

whats a good side dish??
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! Chicken parm is one of my hubby's favorite dishes, and now that I am gluten-free I wasn't quite sure how I could still do it. I think this just might do the trick! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this one tonight... can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteThese sounds so good! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would just like to say Kyndra - I am STILL drooling over these! I have them saved as a favourite to make once we move (clearing out lots of food at the moment so we have less to move!) but I keep coming back to them and thinking hmm maybe I can make an exception and go buy the stuff for these!
ReplyDeletethese are amazing
ReplyDeleteHave these in the oven right now :) can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteThese meatballs are AMAZING! They really do taste like chickem parm. I only had "the green can" parmesan so I subbed that. This was such a delicious dish that I can't believe I made this in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhat is in the middle bowl in the second picture? It looks like quinoa, but it's not listed in the ingredients?
ReplyDeleteIt's minced garlic and it is listed in the ingredients
DeleteThat is 1 TBS garlic? It looks huge in the pic! lol Ok, off to make them now :) Thanks!
DeleteLooks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI don't think glass baking pans are safe to put under the broiler. That said, this looks amazing and I'll definitely be trying it. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteMay I ask where do you get ground chicken? I can find ground turkey in the grocery stores but not ground chicken. I don't think I'd care for doing this with turkey but would love to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI had to go to a couple of grocery stores before I found it. It wasn't with the other poultry items. I usually can find it at Albertsons but almost always have to ask someone from the meat department to point me in the right direction
