Chicken Meatballs

Being on a budget increases necessity of creativity. Before moving, my mom provided us with a few basic cleaning supplies, tool kit and canned foods. I enjoy making chicken salad therefore canned chicken breast made the contribution. I found a recipe similar to this on Pinterest but modified it to be gluten-free and used canned chicken instead. It turned out delicious and was extremely easy to make. 

Ingredients:

- Quarter cup chopped bell pepper (we used a yellow one) 

- 1/2 small yellow onion chopped

- 1 12.5 oz can of chicken breasts in water (we used 3/4 of the can)

- 2 egg whites

- 1/4 cup crushed tortilla chips

- Few tablespoons of Sriracha

- Seasoning: Oregano, Basil, Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Crushed Red Pepper

Recipe: 

We combined all ingredients, adding seasoning to our liking (more red pepper than probably most would want). We baked at 350 for roughly 30 minutes on a cookie sheet and piece of foil. This recipe made 6 large meatballs.    (The original recipe used muffin tins and made 20 meatballs)

They should look golden brown once finished. 

We also prepared steamed broccoli and asparagus as well as a half serving of rice. We had a side of marinara sauce for the rice and meatballs. I'd recommend a sauce that isn't too powerful as the meatballs are very flavorful. We also complimented the meal with our favorite Pinot Nior. Delicious!
