PESTO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

These easy pesto chicken meatballs are loaded with flavor and perfect for a quick weeknight meal. They go great with pasta, cous cous, rice or veggies!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup basil pesto (fresh or store bought)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, set aside.
2. In medium mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shallot, breadcrumbs, parmesan, pesto, egg, salt and pepper. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until combined.
3. Roll mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place onto prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with oil (I prefer using pure avocado oil).
