The Meat Muffin

Now that we are working on eliminating grains from our diets, I have become a big fan of meatballs.  I use them to 'hide' veggies.  It is not that the veggies are hidden per se, but more that the kids get bored with trying to pick them out and just eat.  Oh, and there is sauce to dip it in. 

Today I tried something a little different.  I used ground chicken and made some reminiscent of chicken parmigiano.  Here's what you need

1 lb ground chicken
1 egg
3 T almond flour or 1 T coconut flour
Italian seasonings to taste
1/2 t salt

Red Sauce (marinara, spaghetti, whatever)

Parm cheese

Mix the first set of ingredients together.  Mush into 12 greased muffin cups.  Top each with sauce then cheese.  Bake at 350 for about 20 min.

What I will do next time to change this.  Add a little cheese, shredded carrots and spinach into the meat.  And triple the recipe.  This fed me and 3 young kids.  It would not have worked it my hubby was home.  It almost didn't feed all of us as it was.

Other ideas I have.  Take the basic ground chicken recipe and instead line the muffin cups with ham, put chicken in middle and top with mozzarella or provolone cheese.
