Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb ground chicken breast or thighs
- ½ cup cooked and cooled quinoa
- ½ tsp blackened spice seasoning mix
- Kosher salt to taste
- Cracked black pepper to taste
TO COAT THE MEATBALLS
- ¼ cup blackened seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, cooked and cooled quinoa, blackened spices, salt and pepper and mix until well incorporated.
- When ready, grab your hefty tablespoon and dive into that bowl and form each meatball by placing the mixture into your palms and gently rolling until a circle forms. I find that wetting my hands with a little water (or oil) helps to roll a bit easier.
- Pour the blackened seasoning into the smallest bowl you can find and gently toss each meatball around with your fingertips coating all sides evenly.
- Put each ball onto a baking sheet– placing each one about 1 inch apart, and transfer to a preheated oven set at 400°F and bake for 15-20 minutes.
TO SERVE
- Enjoy these delicious morsels over quinoa salad, stuffed into a pita wrap, over a warm bed of rice, or straight-up (aka on their own).
