BAKED PESTO CHICKEN MEATBALLS AND ZOODLES Prep time 10 minutes | Cook time 30 minutes | Serves 4 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, mix chicken, pesto, ¼ cup Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, and pepper. Take about 2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture and form into sixteen balls. 3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil. Brown the meatballs then transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until fully cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165°F. 4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, basil, oregano, and zucchini. Cook for 3–5 minutes until zucchini is just beginning to soften. Move to a large bowl and toss with tomatoes. To serve, top zucchini noodles with four meatballs. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Pesto is great as a sauce, but it also adds a ton of flavor as a mix-in with meat. Its fresh taste makes the perfect complement for chicken to give you a meal that’s filling but won’t weigh you down. Just look for some keto-friendly pesto at the store. This meal is also perfect as a make-ahead meal. You can double or triple the recipe, bake, then freeze the meatballs to use throughout the month! Just store them in an airtight freezer bag in a single layer for up to 5 months.
