Chicken Quinoa Meatballs

The meatball is perfect as I can make up a batch, enjoy half of the recipe the same day as cooking and pop the others into the freezer. Just warm up the little balls of goodness, and make some rice or pasta. Baking these meatballs is not only easy, but the clean-up is almost void. No greasy pans to contend with or splattered fat all over the stove. Don’t worry baking meatballs still makes for a golden brown experience. I simmered the frozen meatballs in my favorite tikka masala sauce that I keep on hand, made some rice and had a lovely (and healthy) dinner at home.
