INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground chicken

1 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp olive oil

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, almond flour, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until just incorporated.

• 2

  Form the chicken mixture into 1-inch meatballs, ensuring they are tightly packed to hold their shape during cooking.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

• 4

  Add the meatballs to the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown on all sides.

• 5

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

• 6

  Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

• 7

  In a separate small pan, flash-sauté the zucchini noodles for 2 minutes until just tender but still firm.

• 8

  Divide the zucchini noodles into a bowl, top with the meatballs and sauce, and garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
