Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For the rest of the dish

  • 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 8 medium-sized tomatoes (I'm using "cocktail" tomatoes)
  • 1 cup marinara or vodka sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups packed spinach
  • 1/3 cup packed fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 6-8 ounces burrata
  • More italian seasoning, salt + pepper!

Instructions
 

  • First make your chicken meatballs! Combine the ground chicken, an egg, seasonings in a bowl and mix. Form meatballs from the mix.
  • On medium stove top heat, drizzle a little olive oil in a pan, and toss in (gently! because these are flourless they're a little more flexible!) the meatballs. Cook for a few min on each side, then leave on low heat for 5 minutes to ensure they're full cooked.
  • Remove the cooked meatballs from the pan.
  • Dice your onion and half your tomatoes.
  • In the same pan you used for the meatballs, toss in onions, tomatoes, garlic (minced or freshly diced), a little more olive oil, and a little more Italian seasoning in the pan.
  • Let the tomatoes blister on each side, cooking for around 5 minutes each side of the tomato, on low to medium heat.
  • Add in your marinara or vodka sauce, with a small splash of water.
  • Throw in the spinach and finely chopped basil.
  • Simmer on low for all the flavors to combine for a few min, then place the meatballs right on top of the tomato, spinach dish.
  • Turn your stove off, and place your burrata on top.
  • Garnish with some more fresh basil!
  • Feel free to eat this as is or over pasta! DELISH!!!!!
