Description

Simple broccoli chicken meatballs.

Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups of broccoli florets, very finely diced
1 lb ground chicken, organic if possible
1 egg
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Dash of black pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Dice the broccoli very finely. Heat a large pan over medium heat, then add the olive oil and broccoli. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just soft and bright green. Set aside to cool.
Add remaining ingredients to a large bowl, then add broccoli after letting it cool. Use clean hands to combine all of the meatball ingredients- be sure to mix well so seasonings get evenly mixed.
Form into 15-16 meatballs and line them up on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 28-30 minutes, until cooked through and tops are slightly browned.
