Deliciousness

I had no idea what to make the other night. So I decided to throw these three items together: onion, zucchini, and Chicken meatballs. I have one word to describe this dish... AMAZING!! If any of you know me personally, you will know exactly how I say the word too. I love this word, AMAZING... it just feels so good and allows me to speak with such conviction:-)

This meal was cheap, simple, delicious, easy, and nutritious!

This was my first time making Zucchini noodles, and boy am I hooked on them. I used a mandolin and changed out the flat head for the cheese grater and shredded it down lengthwise to create a longer "noodle." There is a machine you can get to actually create a noodle out of veggies, but this worked just as well. They probably turn out thinner like this, but I'm not that picky.

I'm sure you are just itching to get the scoop on how I made this amazing meal, so here you go!

What you will need:
1 yellow or sweet onion (I love the sweet onions or Vidalia)
1 package aidells Chicken Meatball Caramelized Onion
1 TBS Kerygolds Butter (any grass fed butter)
2 large Zucchini
Pinch of salt
Parsley and Parmesan to taste

The steps you will need to make the meal:

  • Peel and slice onion
  • Melt butter in large saucepan and add onion
  • Caramelize the onion
  • While the onion is caramelizing, shred your two zucchini (make sure you wash it first)
  • Place your shredded zucchini in a microwavable bowl with a little water and salt in the bottom of it
  • Microwave Zucchini for about 3 minutes and drain once it's steamed all the way through*
  • When the onions are almost caramelized, add the chicken meatballs
  • Cook the meatballs in the onion for about 10 minutes, get them nice and caramelized to add tons of flavor to the chicken
  • Put about 1 cup of zucchini in a bowl, add a couple meatballs with onion, top with parsley and Parmesan and consume!
* I don't endorse using the microwave, but it was my first time steaming the zucchini and this is how a friend told me to try it first. Next time I will not use the microwave and steam it properly to keep all the nutrition:-)

I hope all of you enjoy this meal as much as I did, even my husband loved it! Smile, eat well, and keep moving!
