Keto Kung Pao Chicken Meatballs
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare the bell pepper, spinach, and chicken breast by giving them a rough chop. This will make the mixing process easier.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the first three ingredients with the salt, pepper, cilantro, basil, red pepper, cumin, cayenne, and peanuts. Pulse until all the ingredients are minced and slightly bound together.
Step 3
Use your hands to form 6 meatballs, each about 2 inches tall.
Step 4
*Please use 2 TB of avocado oil for cooking. Heat the oil in a medium sized skillet on medium-low heat. Place the meatballs in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the meatballs brown for about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Gently rotate and cook the meatballs for about 60 seconds per side until the meatballs are cooked throughout and golden brown all around. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Serve the meatballs with a wedge of lime and enjoy!
