If you are looking for healthy, light and tasty chicken recipes, then you absolutely must try these meatballs of chicken And zuchinis!
Preparing them is really child’s play: just grate the courgettes, chop the chicken and mix them with salt, pepper, sesame seeds, aromatic herbs (I chose thyme) and breadcrumbs. At this point you can make meatballs and cook them in a pan with a nice drizzle of oil (this will form a nice crust on the surface!).
These meatballs can be an excellent idea for dinner for the whole family or even for an aperitif with friends.
They are very delicate and I recommend serving them with one sauce accompanying (such as classic mayonnaise or Greek yogurt-based) to make them even tastier!
The extra idea
To make the meatballs even tastier you can enrich them with a little grated Parmesan cheese or with other chopped aromatic herbs such as rosemary or parsley. And to give a touch of freshness, you can also flavor them with a little grated lemon zest.
How to cook chicken meatballs
For this recipe, I decided to cook the chicken and courgette meatballs in a pan in order to obtain a nice golden crust, but if you prefer, you can also cook them in the oven (at 180 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking) or in an air fryer (at 180 degrees for approximately 20 minutes).
