Chicken Parm Meatballs
1 1/4 pounds ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 cup Pecorino (or Parm)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 egg, whisked
zest of half a lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 14-ounce can storebought pizza sauce
about 4 ounces fresh mozzarella
Preheat oven to 400°F, setting rack to upper third part of oven. In a large bowl, using your hands, gently mix together first 11 ingredients. Shape into lacrosse-ball size balls (that would be somewhere between golf and tennis) and place a few inches from each other on a foil-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix one spoonful of your pizza sauce with olive oil. Brush this mixture on top of each meatball. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove meatballs from oven, spoon some sauce on top of each meatball, and cover each with a slice of cheese. Broil another 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Heat remaining sauce in a small saucepan. Serve meatballs with a dollop of sauce and a raw Tuscan kale salad that has been shredded and tossed with shallots, Pecornio, olive oil, salt, and pepper.0 -
One of my favorite sites is cavemanketo.com He's always coming up with awesome recipes! Here is his recipe for
Kitchen Sink Keto Casserole! (It makes a BIG one, or two!! Make sure you half or even third the recipe if you don't want a ton)!!!

12 Chicken Thighs (3 packs of 4 or 72 ounces)

4 Celery Stalks
24 Oz Jimmy Dean Sausage
16 Oz Sliced Mushrooms
16 Oz Frozen Cauliflower
7 Slices Bacon
8 Oz Cheddar Cheese, shredded
16 Oz Cream Cheese
Paprika to taste (Optional)
Instructions
Cook the bacon in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until crisp
While the bacon is cooking, prep the rest of the meal
Chop the chicken thighs into cubes
Cook in a large pan until the juices run clear and the inside is no longer pink, if your pan is small, you might need to do it in batches
Brown the sausage
When the sausage is done, transfer to a large bowl leaving the grease in the pan
Chop the onion and celery
Add the onion, celery and mushrooms to the sausage grease and cook until translucent
Microwave the frozen cauliflower and then cut the florets up

Add the cream cheese and mix
Add the cheese and mix
Spread in a large pan and top with paprika if desired
Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes covered in foil
Then cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered
Notes
I divided this into 10 when I made this, but it was a ton of food, so I’ve changed it to 12 servings. For maximum efficiency, cook multiple things in parallel, AKA the bacon should be in the oven as the cauliflower is in the microwave as you are cooking the chicken and the sausage / vegetables. It might take a while the first time you make it but it will speed up a lot if you do these things in parallel.

Do you know about how many carbs are in the Greek chicken? This is my kinda food! Sounds delicious

I punched it in. The recipe alone, without the marinade (per serving) has 310 cals, 6 carbs, 3 fiber, 35 protein, 17 fat and 3 sugar. Net carbs = 3 per serving.
I always like to do anything with sauces or marinades separately since they can be very high in cals and carbs even tho you don't use the entire amount of marinade in the finished product. So, I always do those by themselves as a whole recipe and then track how much I actually eat of it on my food. Seems more fair that way!
The entire marinade recipe has: 640 cals, 9 carbs, 0 fiber, protein and sugar and 17 fat.
Hope this helps!!0
