Chicken & Mushroom Meatballs
mains / pasta / dairy free
Flavorful chicken meatballs with mushrooms mixed in and cooked in marinara for an easy, low maintenance dinner recipe!
Meatballs are one of my favorite things to make when I want something low maintenance but still so flavorful and hearty for dinner. I love to sub a classic beef or pork meatball with something leaner, so these Chicken and Mushroom Meatballs are a go-to of mine for a weeknight meal. I sneak so many extra nutrients in here by adding the chopped mushrooms, and they give the meat so much flavor!
Here are the Ingredients for these Chicken & Mushroom Meatballs:
Produce - Mushrooms, Basil
Seasonings - Salt, Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes, Onion Power, Garlic Powder
Protein - Ground Chicken, Egg
