Recipe Description

These Keto Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are the perfect recipe for me to use to feed my family in accordance with my most favored Keto regime. The meatballs are made from ground chicken combined with almond flour, egg, Parmesan, fresh basil and garlic powder that get baked in the oven for only 10 minutes.

The Italian tomato sauce is just as simple with a quick cook of garlic, crushed tomatoes and fresh basil. Is this even a diet?

Can't get over the taste of these, recommending this to all my meatlover friends. I took some of the leftovers to work and let a few co-workers try some, they didn't believe me when I told them I made them myself LOL!

They were alright, tasty but easily fall apart so they didn't maintain their circle shape for long on the plate..
