INGREDIENTS:
CHICKEN MEATBALLS:
- 1 Pound Ground Chicken
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder

- ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
- ¾ Cup Pork rinds
- ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese

ALFREDO SAUCE:

INGREDIENTS NOTES:
GROUND CHICKEN:
- I use little fat-containing ground chicken to get the juicy meatballs but you can also use lean chicken but it may lead to dry meatballs.
PORK RINDS:
- I use pork rinds as a substitute for breadcrumbs to bind the meatballs; you can also use almond flour breadcrumbs to bind the meatballs.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- I add the freshly grated parmesan cheese because it is best to add in the Alfredo sauce and meatballs because it can melt down well. You can also use pre-grated parmesan cheese but it contains an anti-caking agent due to which the cheese will not melt properly.
HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM:
- I use full-fat heavy cream to make the smooth and indulgent sauce, we can also use low-fat one but it may not be the same creamy as with full-fat cream.
BUTTER:
- I use butter to prepare this Alfredo sauce.
EGGS:
- We use the eggs in the meatballs and they also serve as a binding agent to make these meatballs.
OLIVE OIL:
- I add a little quantity of olive oil to the meatballs and also to brown them.
