Ingredients
3 servings
1 lb95 to 97% ground chicken
ΒΌ cupgrated reduced fat parmesan cheese
ΒΌ tsppepper
1/2 condiment
Β½ tspgarlic salt
Β½ tspitalian seasoning
ΒΌ tsponion powder
1/2 condiment
1 cupreduced fat mozzarella cheese
divided, 1 lean
1 Β½ cupsitalian diced tomatoes
divided, or 3/4 cup prego no sugar added traditional italian sauce
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Lightly spray a 13 x 9 inch glass dish with cooking spray.
Step 3
Blend diced tomatoes in a blender or small chopper to resemble tomato sauce or until desired consistency.
Step 4
Combine ground chicken, parmesan cheese, and spices. Add 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Measure out 3 tbsp of the blended diced tomatoes and add to the ground chicken mixture until completely combined. Form into meatballs. Since this recipe makes three servings, I made twenty-one meatballs. It is so much easier to divide the meatballs evenly when they are in increments of threes such as 15, 18, 21, and so on.
Step 5
Cook meatballs in a skillet (on each side) for a few minutes if you want the a little more done. Otherwise, Place meatballs in prepared glass dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
Step 6
Then, Spread tomato sauce over meatballs and sprinkle with the leftover mozzarella cheese. Broil until cheese is melted. Divide the meatballs into 3 servings.
Step 7
serve with spaghetti squash, Healthy Noodles, palmini noodles, or a side salad (dressing could be your healthy fat)
