Description
I have abandoned fatty ground beef in favor of healthier options such as ground chicken and turkey. I can ensure with the perfect additions, these will not be bland nor dry – you will not be missing the beef here.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup roasted garlic light cream cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs

- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

- and spray with cooking spray.
- Combine the chicken
- eggs
- cream cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- bread crumbs
- red pepper flakes
- Italian seasoning

- salt
- and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form mixture into 20 meatballs; place on prepared pan.

- 17 to 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
