Cheesy Meatball and Cauliflower Rice Bake
Gluten-free, Keto and Paleo Friendly

Ingredients:
2 pounds of ground chicken (substitute with ground turkey, beef or sausage)
2 tsp. of onion powder
2 large cloves of fresh minced garlic
1/4 tsp. of crushed red chili pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp. of black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. of salt
2 tbsp. of fresh chopped parsley
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup of shredded or graded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups of grated or shredded mozzarella cheese (I use Pollyo brand)
2 10 oz. packages of frozen rice cauliflower or one head fresh rice Cauliflower
1/4 cup of chicken stock
2 cups of chunky tomato marinara sauce
1 cup of ricotta cheese
1 additional cup of grated mozzarella cheese for the top of the meatballs.
*fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400° and lightly spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Combined ground chicken, onion powder, garlic, crushed chili pepper, parsley, eggs, Parmesan, mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine. Then use an ice cream scooper to form meatballs all the same size. Arrange the meatballs in the casserole dish. Bake your meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes until just done. Remove the meatballs from the oven and transfer meatballs to a plate and drain half the juice. While meatballs are cooking in the oven microwave the cauliflower in a glass bowl for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer cooled cauliflower rice at the bottom of the baking dish. Pour the 1/4 cup of chicken stock over the cauliflower and arrange the meatballs on top. With a ladle begin to top off each meatball with tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella and fresh parsley. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve meatballs on a bed of cauliflower rice. Serve with zucchini noodles or a salad.
Enjoy!
