Lemon & Basil Chicken meatballs
If you're looking for a quick and easy meal to make this week, then this is the recipe for you. These meatballs are absolutely delicious. So I find the meatballs can get really dry, especially when using ground chicken. However, by adding zucchini to this recipe, it helps add more moisture to the meatballs.
These make for a great meal prep recipe because you can use them in so many different things. They are great in a bowl with rice or cauliflower rice. They're absolutely delicious with a pesto pasta. Further, they are a great addition to any salad that you want to add protein to.
The other amazing thing about these is they take such little time to bake in the oven. It takes about 30 minutes total to make 15 meatballs. You can also easily double or triple this recipe if you have a family that you want to meal prep for!
