Chicken Meatballs with roasted Broccoli and cauliflower
I love ground chicken! Trader Joe’s has the best and at $4.49/lb., it’s usually cheaper than ground beef… I always have at least a pound in my freezer because it’s so versatile- and chicken meatballs are a favorite application. They take 10 minutes to stir together and 20 minutes to bake along with the veggies. I don’t want to steal anyone’s claim to fame, so we’ll call this a “Half ‘n Hour Meal”. So good!
1 egg 1/2c fine dry or fresh breadcrumbs 1/4c grated parmesan cheese 1/2t onion powder 1/2t garlic powder 1/2t salt 1/2t pepper 2T milk 1lb ground chicken (shout out to Trader Joe's!) 1/2 head cauliflower florets 1/2 head broccoli florets olive oil 1t McCormick's garlic and herb seasoning 1/4c pesto
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
With a fork, mix together egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, onion and garlic powders, salt, pepper and milk.
Add the chicken and use your fork to mix until combined.
Use a cookie scoop to form balls then roll them with your hands to make them uniform.
Place the balls on one end of an oiled sheet pan.
Put the cauliflower and broccoli florets on the other end of the pan, drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle with garlic and herb seasoning.
