CHICKEN PARMESAN MEATBALL

I've never cooked with ground chicken before but I wanted to change up some of our meals since it seems like we've been eating the same things week after week. Like many of us I don't like spending a lot of time in kitchen but I want something that is fresh and tastes good. I came across a recipe for chicken Parmesan meatballs and tweaked it slightly. I can't believe how good these turned out and how easy they were to make. I also tossed some frozen veggies in the microwave to round everything out. It made for a perfect Sunday night comfort meal on a chilly day. I hope you enjoy!
