Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • 2 large Egg Whites
  • 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Fat-Free Feta Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
  • 15 ounces Chickpeas drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your skillet over medium heat. While it’s heating, gather all your ingredients and get ready to whip up the meatballs.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg whites, panko bread crumbs, feta cheese, parsley, rosemary, and kosher salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • With wet hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Set them aside on a plate.
  • In the heated skillet, add olive oil and the roughly chopped garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
  • Once the meatballs are browned, add grape tomatoes and chickpeas to the skillet. Stir everything gently to combine.
  • Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes to allow the meatballs to cook through.
  • Once done, remove from heat and sprinkle with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
