🥄Ingredients:
🔸1/2 lb (225g) ground chicken (or turkey)
🔸1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice
🔸1 cloves garlic, grated +1 cloves garlic minced
🔸1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
🔸1/2 cup chicken stock
🔸Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
🔸1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
🔸3 tablespoons butter, divided
🔸1 tablespoon hot sauce of your choice
🔸Juice of 1/2 lemon
🔸1 medium cauliflower head, grated (or a packet of riced cauliflower)
🥄Instructions:
Make cauliflower rice by using a large grater or food processor. Transfer the grated cauliflower to a shallow plate and add 1/2 cup of water. Cover the plate and cook it in the microwave for 4 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheese, grated garlic, Italian seasoning, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a fork. Form medium-sized balls from the mixture and arrange them on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the chicken meatballs in the skillet and cook them for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. While cooking, baste the meatballs with the mixture of butter and juices. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a clean plate and set them aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken stock, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
Add the grated cauliflower rice to the skillet and toss it with the sauce until it is heated through and well-coated.
Serve the cauliflower rice with the cooked chicken meatballs on top. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
