This was a hit with the whole family. The quinoa made the meatballs extremely moist and put all of our old breadcrumbs to shame. It also added some extra protein, fiber and iron! We’ll take that. 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken

• 1 medium onion (minced)

• 1 cup of cooked quinoa

Staples: Olive oil, sesame seeds (optional)
