chris_gerribVia that scientific method of dinking around on Facebook, I found a recipe for low-carb garlic butter meatballs. Herewith is my slight variation on that recipe.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken
5 cloves garlic
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 12 ounce packages frozen "zoodles" AKA veggie noodle spirals. I used one carrot and one zucchini
Prepare the zoodles as per the package directions, drain and set aside. While you're doing that, combine the chicken, 2 cloves garlic, the egg and the cheese in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper if desired (I did not so desire). Make into meatballs or if you want hamburger-sized patties. In large skillet, heat the oil and cook the meat for 10 minutes on medium heat, flipping as needed. Transfer meat to a plate.
Melt the butter and the remaining garlic in the skillet, then add zoodles and lemon juice. Toss and cook for a minute to get them back up to temperature. Then put the meat back in and get everything hot (1-2 minutes). Serve, garnished with more Parmesan.
Try not to eat the whole recipe in one sitting.
