High Protein Chicken Meatballs

This is the healthy version of the dish above. Ground chicken, ricotta in the mix, cottage cheese on top. It sounds like a compromise and it absolutely is not.

Method

1. 1

   Combine the chicken, ricotta, egg, breadcrumbs, parmigiano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Handle it as little as possible. Ground chicken turns rubbery the moment you overwork it. This is the one step that decides whether the dish is good.

3. 3

   Roll them smaller than beef meatballs. Pan fry in olive oil until the outsides are genuinely crisp.

4. 4

   Pour the marinara over, cover, and simmer 10 to 12 minutes until cooked through.

5. 5

   Boil the campanelle, pull it early, toss with a little sauce.

6. 6

   Plate, spoon the meatballs and sauce over, then cottage cheese on top and grated parmesan.
