1 egg (I used 1/4 cup of egg beaters)
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon black pepper
juice from 1 lemon
3 tablespoons of Italian seasoning
4 tablespoons light olive oil
either your favorite tomato sauce or I used it with the tomato vodka sauce I posted 2 days ago
In a bowl add the ground chicken and next 8 ingredients and mix together really well.
Then use a small spoon to measure out how much meat for each meatball, then form the meatball in your hand to make a ball.
In a large saute pan heat the oil over medium heat and place the meatballs in the oil and brown on all sides (should be about 10 to 12 minutes). Then turn the heat down and continue to heat the meatballs for another 3 to 5 minutes.
Then remove the meatballs and put on a plate that is covered with a paper towel to drain the meatballs.
Then if you have your tomato sauce warmed place the meatballs in there and cover with the sauce and cook for another 10 minutes. I served ours over penne pasta.
Enjoy!!!!
