Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400º. Combine ground chicken, parsley, half the garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, and egg in a large bowl. Season with mix until fully combined, then form into meatballs.

  2. 2

    In a large oven-proof skillet, heat 1 tbsp. olive or avocado oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown each side, for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan.

  3. 3

    Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add remaining garlic and cook about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes.

  4. 4

    Simmer then return meatballs to the skillet and top with mozzarella. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5-10 minutes.
