• porzioni: 30 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 10 minutes
• tempo totale: 28 minutes

Ingredienti

1 lb ground chicken

½ cup Panko breadcrumbs

½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 egg

1 ½ cups finely chopped broccoli florets

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

⅛ tsp black pepper

Istruzioni

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).

Add the broccoli to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high heat for 2 minutes, or until tender. Drain all of the liquid.

Use kitchen scissors to finely chop the broccoli into small pieces. You may also quickly pulse the broccoli in a blender if you prefer a more fine texture. You should have about 1 ½ cups of the finely chopped broccoli mixture.

Add the chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, broccoli, and seasonings to a bowl and mix until combined. Be sure not to overmix as overmixing can cause the meat to be tough when baked.

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into small balls. Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined pan.

Spray the meatballs with some cooking oil spray and bake them at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes.

Optional: If you choose to add them to a sauce, simmer the marinara sauce in a pan on low heat. Add in the meatballs and simmer for a few minutes.
