Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Meatballs with Cauliflower Rice can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a meatball shape. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
4. Bake Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and season with paprika. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and all liquid is absorbed.
7. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant but not browned (about 1 minute).
8. Coat Meatballs: Once the meatballs are done baking, drizzle the garlic butter sauce over them, tossing gently to coat.
9. Serve: Plate the cauliflower rice and top with the garlic butter chicken meatballs.
