Ingredients

Meatballs:

  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated onion
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Olive oil for brushing

Casserole:

  • 32 ounces marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Put all the meatball ingredients (except the olive oil) into a large bowl or stand mixer. Blend gently but thoroughly.
  2. Form meatballs and refrigerate for an hour. Roll meatballs in bread crumbs, place in a baking pan, and brush with olive oil.
  3. Bake uncovered at 350F for 20 minutes. Add sauce and bake for another 20 minutes. Top with cheese and melt. Optionally, broil for browning.

Notes

  • To make classic meatballs, use breadcrumbs instead of almond meal.
