INGREDIENTS
150 grams Ground Chicken
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
100 grams Green Beans
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
4 Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting and set aside a baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with a minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper (if desired) to taste. Gently mix until evenly combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Form the chicken mixture into small, tender meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and set them aside on a clean plate.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
While the meatballs bake, prepare the tomato base by warming the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally and add extra fresh basil leaves if you like a more herbal note.
Meanwhile, toss the green beans with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them out on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Once everything is cooked, plate the roasted meatballs topped with a generous spoonful of fresh marinara sauce, and arrange the roasted green beans on the side. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your balanced, lean protein meal.
