Instructions
- Meatballs:
- In a large mixing bowl add the soft bread crumbs, oregano, parsley, feta, garlic, onion, egg and mix well to combine - then add in the ground chicken and some salt and pepper and mix well- but do not over mix
- Next roll each meatball and palce on a baking sheet lined with foil and oilve oil and then drizzle more olive oil the top of each meatball and cook on Broil for about 6 minutes per side ( until tops are browned and they are cooked through
- I used a vegtable spiralizer ( I got mine on amazon.com ) But you can use a mandolon too. Once you have ribbons of zucchini put them in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle them with some salt and set aside for 30 minutes ( this will get the moisture out of the noodles) then in a pot of boing water add the zucchini and boil for 1 minute and then drain and rinse well to get all of the salt off the noodles
- Next dry them on some paper towels to get water out of them. Then in a pan on medium - low heat - add in the olive oil and grated garlic and cook the zucchini noodles for a few minutes - about 5 and then take them off the heat and top with parmesean cheese and meatballs and enjoy!
