Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Meatballs

  • 1 large Chicken Breast skinless, boneless
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Flaxseed
  • 4 tablespoon Almond Flour

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin

For the Zoodles

  • 1 large Zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

Starting with the Chicken Meatballs

  • Process the chicken breast in a blender or food processor to get a ground meat consistency.
  • Add the egg, almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and knead to get a dough.
  • Shape into bite-sized meatballs.
  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the meatballs, tossing to cook evenly.

Make the Zoodles

  • Cut the edges off the zucchini, and using a vegetable peeler, cut long, thin strips lengthwise.

  • Transfer the zoodles onto plates and add the chicken meatballs on top. Serve hot.
