Sun-dried Tomato & Pesto Chicken Meatballs

Mighty Tip

Chicken is a protein source that is lower in saturated fat than red meat, which is often used in meatball recipes.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken

• 1/4 cup pesto

• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in olive oil), chopped into small pieces

• 5 oz bread crumbs

• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

• 1 egg

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/8 cup water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

3. Use your hands to mash/mix everything together.

4. Roll the meatball mixture into balls and place evenly on a baking sheet. (I line it with aluminum foil first so it doesn’t stick.)

5. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. (I use a meat thermometer to check if they’re done — safe internal temperature for cooking chicken needs to hit 165 degrees F.)

6. Enjoy!
