Another healthy dinner hit!

I've mentioned recently that I made a goal to try a new healthy dinner recipe each week. I'm doing this for 2 reasons other than the sake of staying on track:
1. To work through my Pinterest recipes (lol) and
2. To find husband-approved healthy meals! I've told yall how picky/close-minded he can sometimes be when it comes to healthy habits haha.

Last week my new dinner recipe was healthy, 21 day fix-approved alfredo. This week's new dinner menu item was 21df approved buffalo chicken meatballs (which look more like meat muffins since I put the balls into a muffin tin to bake lol) and just like last week's new healthy recipe, this was hubby approved! Only 86 cals & less than half a gram of carbs per meatball! Recipe with nutrition info & container portions are below.

 

Ingredients (makes 14-16 meatballs/mini meat muffins depending on how big you want them):

1.25 lb lean ground chicken

1 large egg

3/4c Italian breadcrumbs (or oats)

1/4 tsp salt

1/ tsp pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp. dried parsley

1.5 cup buffalo sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Mix the ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined.

2. Roll the mixture into balls and place on non-stick pan or in muffin tin & bake for 30mins or until they pass the clean toothpick test!

3. ENJOY! There you have it. Simple, clean & yummy. =)

 

 

21 day fixers! I counted each meatball as 1/2 Red, and 1/4 Yellow- maybe add a teaspoon in there for the buffalo sauce.
