Spaghetti with chicken meat balls [Bulkbites.com]
- Servings: 5
- Time: 40 minutes
I never knew healthy food could taste this freakin' awesome! Although minced chicken meat contains more fat than chicken breast (unless you make it yourself), it is a great source of protein.
The recipe is very easy, and you can make a bulk every time and put it in the fridge. Microwave it whenever you want to eat is, and it will taste even better then when you left it in there. For a dinner you can add some broccoli for the veggie vitamins!
Tip. If you prepare the meat balls in the oven (15 minutes) instead of in the pan, and add them to the sauce later, the chicken meat balls will contain a lot less fat! It's some more work though.
