Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

I can never resist the urge to take an everyday classic and turn it into something new and fun. Its what I do! In this case, I decided to twist two popular meals into one!

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 tsp italian seasoning
• 1 dash garlic powder
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1 C crushed pork rinds
• 1 C parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper
• 4 TB olive oil, coconut oil, or lard

 Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400
• Season chicken with italian seasoning and garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
• Roll into 16 golf-ball sized meatballs. 
• In food processor, combine pork rinds and parmesan cheese, just until blended, and transfer to a bowl
• Roll each meatball in parmesan mixture, then in egg, then again in parmesan mixture.
• Heat oil to medium-high
• Brown meatballs, 8 at a time, for 3 minutes on each side.
• Transfer to foil lined baking sheet, and finish in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Serve with my Homemade Tomato Sauce over spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, or Paleo Cupboard‘s Paleo Pasta.
