CHICKEN PARMESAN MEATBALLS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

Age: 6 months and up (see pictures above) Notes on Italian seasoning: if you don’t have Italian seasoning you can use a mixture of dried oregano, basil and thyme.  Notes on Chicken: you can also use ground turkey in this recipe. I prefer using the dark meat for both chicken or turkey as it has more flavor.  How to Freeze and Thaw: there are 2 options for freezing. Option 1 – after rolling the meatballs, you can place the raw meatballs onto a baking sheet and place in freezer until frozen before moving them to an air-tight container. To thaw, you can simply place the frozen meatballs on a baking sheet and bake as directe above. Option 2 – bake the meatballs, let cool and then place in an air-tight container. You can thaw the frozen meatballs by placing them into simmering tomto sauce, mircrowave for 1-2 mintues or until warm, or bake at 350 degree F for 8-10 minutes or until warm.  Nutrition Serving: 1meatball | Calories: 58kcal | Carbohydrates: 26g | Protein: 6.9g | Fat: 2.5g | Saturated Fat: 1g | Cholesterol: 26mg | Sodium: 66mg | Potassium: 52mg | Fiber: 0.1g | Sugar: 0.2g | Calcium: 38mg
