These delicious meatballs are made with chicken breast, a great source of lean protein. Traditional meatballs are made with higher fat ground beef, which increases the overall saturated fat content. Chicken has little saturated fat and is considered a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids our body needs but cannot make on its own. Protein is essential for all of our organs and muscle tissues, metabolic reactions and help maintains our pH and fluid balance. This recipe provides 28 grams of protein and meets your vitamin C requirements for a day!
