Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion diced
- 3 carrots peeled and diced
- 2 ribs celery diced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 pound zucchini (about 3 medium-sized zucchini) spiralized
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
For the chicken meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ⅓ cup panko
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Panko, Parmesan, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder and red pepper flakes, if using; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 3/4-to-1-inch meatballs, forming about 25-30 meatballs.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the stockpot. Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme and rosemary until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Whisk in chicken broth, bay leaf and 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Stir in meatballs; reduce heat and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in zucchini noodles during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking time.
- Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
