Welcome back again to my channel and
without wasting any more time
this is all you will need to make this
delicious Quinoa chicken meatballs
So I will be using some quinoa, ground
chicken, zucchini, carrots
bell peppers, onions, parsley, green onions, garlic
eggs, olive oil, salt and some
seasoning to taste.  You can replace the
chicken with beef, fish or any protein of your
choice. If you are vegetarian you can actually
swap that out all together and it will taste just as
good. I have declared my undying love for
quinoa because it is so
packed with nutrients and it is no news
or surprise that I'm doing another quinoa recipe
and trust me there's many more to come!
With that said
make sure to watch my other video on how to make the most delicious quinoa beef
stir fry ever! So as you can see, I actually grated
the carrots and the zucchini
and also went ahead to dice the bell
peppers and the parsley as well as the
green onions very finely
because we're going to have to mix this into the quinoa
Bell peppers are very flavorful and it's actually
optional in this dish. I personally just
want a lot of flavors
that is why I am using bell peppers. To
save on time I had actually gone ahead
to prepare my quinoa while I was preparing my
ingredients. Quinoa as you all know takes about
12-15 minutes to cook
properly. Make sure to boil your quinoa
with a pinch of salt to taste. Once cooked pour into a
bowl and set aside to cool. For this recipe
we need your quinoa to cool down so that
we can actually mix everything together.
Now we will go ahead to prepare the
chicken and the vegetables. For the
chicken, because it is ground,
ground chicken tends to lump up when you're actually
cooking it, so you have to constantly stir
and mash that in the pot so that it actually
breaks off. Like I had mentioned earlier,
you could actually replace the ground
chicken with ground beef, fish or no meat at all
for a vegetarian option.  As you continue to stir go ahead
and add your seasoning,
some salt and some maggi cubes
Taste and add seasoning accordingly,
Stirring your chicken making sure to
break down any lumps.
Once my chicken was properly cooked I
went ahead and added all my vegetables
and continued stirring.
Once all ingredients have been properly mixed
cover and allow it to cook for about 1 - 3 minutes
The goal is to allow the water to dry up
a little -  you don't want it to dry up
completely and you don't want to overcook your
veggies as well. Another alternative
would be to squeeze the zucchini and the
carrots prior to cooking,  that will reduce the
amount of water drastically and also not using bell
peppers but your girl is all for the flavors and
the juices so we're cooking everything!
Now go ahead and mix your stuffing into
the quinoa. This is why I said we needed to have the
quinoa cool down. You don't want it to be mushy at the
same time you want it to be moist enough
so that you can actually roll them up into balls
Once you've mixed everything well
together it is time to add our eggs
I will be using five eggs for this recipe
As you all know, eggs make a good binding agent
so we're actually using this
obviously to be able to make our
meatballs to bind properly. Go ahead and pour in
your eggs and now it's time to get into the
business! I added some parsley of course to get
some more flavor. Mix everything together properly
If you need to add some more eggs by all means
go ahead. Go ahead and oil your baking tins
I highly recommend you use parchment
paper if you're using this
Now it's time to make your quinoa
chicken meatballs
Make sure to lay them out sparsely, you
do not want to crowd the trays
Our quinoa chicken meatballs is ready to be baked
Preset your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
and go ahead to bake for about 30 to 45 minutes
Be sure to check from time to time and
when it has baked for about 20-25
minutes, you flip them over and then allow them
to bake to a nice golden brown
And voila! Our quinoa chicken meatballs
is ready to be served. You can actually
serve this with some avocado,
some sauce, some stew and just about
anything! You can also eat this by itself
and it's just as yummy!
I will be serving mine with some nice
tomato sauce.
