Chicken Meatballs are a child-friendly dinner that’s healthy and super easy to make. I’ve been serving these gluten-free chicken meatballs to the boys since they were in elementary school and this is one of their favorite high-protein dinners. I love serving these paleo meatballs over homemade zoodles.

If you aren’t familiar with zoodles, you’ll definitely want to check out my fabulous tutorial called How to Make Zucchini Noodles. I top these Chicken Meatballs and Zucchini Noodles with the homemade Tomato Sauce from my first book, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. That homemade tomato sauce recipe is super healthy and another dish that’s very easy to make.

This recipe is based on a gluten-free chicken meatball recipe from Kelly Broznya at the Spunky Coconut. I first met up with Kelly and her family at the Boulder Farmer’s Market, and we grabbed some grub. After that we splashed around with her daughters in the creek and walked around downtown for a while. We’ve been dear friends ever since!

Here are some of my other easy paleo dinner recipes for you!

  2. I followed the recipe exactly, but mine turned out too moist and mushy; and they were rather pale-looking. Any ideas? Did I maybe process the ingredients too long? Or maybe my zucchini was too large and I should go smaller the next time?

    • Lauren, thanks for your comment! This happens when too much zucchini is used. If you use 1 cup as specified in the recipe they will be perfect :-)

  3. Hi Elena,

    Are the chicken breasts cooked or raw when you place them in the food processor?

    Thanks

    • Jeanette, thanks for your comment! The chicken breasts are uncooked when they go in the food processor :-)
