Chicken & Mushroom Meatballs
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
Pantry - Breadcrumbs, Marinara, Pasta
