Products used: 3.5 Quart Saute Pan with Cover
Ingredients
1 pound of ground chicken
½ cup of Italian-style bread crumbs
½ cup of cottage cheese + more for serving
1 egg
¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon of italian seasoning
½ teaspoon of garlic salt
½ teaspoon of black pepper
½ cup of marinara sauce + more for serving
Parmesan, if desired
Directions
Preheat your pan on medium low heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, ½ cup of Italian bread crumbs, ½ cup of cottage cheese, 1 egg, ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of garlic salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and mix. Form into roughly 16 meatballs.
Once your pan is properly preheated, add a tablespoon of oil to your pan. Add the meatballs and cook for a few minutes per side. The meatballs should release once a nice sear is formed.
Once you’ve flipped your meatballs, add ½ cup of marinara sauce + a splash of water to your pan and cover the meatballs. Cook on medium low heat for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees fahrenheit.
Serve the meatballs with additional marinara sauce, cottage cheese, and parmesan cheese as desired.
