Chicken Meatball Parmigiana and Sweet Potato Noodle Bake

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled, spiralized
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 24 oz jar tomato sauce of choice I use Victoria Fine Foods' Tomato Herb or Tomato Basil
  • ¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • to garnish: chopped curly parsley
  • For the meatballs:
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a large mixing bowl and mix together. Dip your hands in water and form a golf sized meatball and set on the baking sheet. Repeat until 8 meatballs are formed.
  • Transfer the meatballs into the oven, bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake another 10 minutes.
  • After the meatballs are flipped, place a deep, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Once oil is shimmering, add the sweet potato noodles and season with salt and pepper. Toss and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften and then pour in the tomato sauce. Toss well and let cook for 5 more minutes or until cooked to al dente or your preference.
  • Once the meatballs are done, add them to the pasta mixture, spreading them out in the skillet evenly. Remove from heat and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Transfer to the oven and let cook for 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve.
