Recipes:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
1 egg, beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the Cranberry Ricotta Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
⅓ cup dried cranberries
¼ tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Garnish:
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, basil, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well
combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1-inch in diameter).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of
165°F). Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the orzo and toast for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes until the
orzo is tender.
Stir in the ricotta cheese, dried cranberries, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Serve the meatballs over the cranberry ricotta orzo. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
