Recipes:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the Cranberry Glaze:
½ cup cranberry sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Lemony Garlic Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups chicken broth
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Roll into small
meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Make the Cranberry Glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3-5
minutes until slightly thickened.
Pour the glaze over the cooked meatballs and toss to coat.
Prepare the Orzo: In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add orzo and stir to coat.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the cranberry-glazed meatballs over the lemony garlic orzo. Enjoy!
