Extra Lean Ground meat can often be a bit dry because of the low fat content, especially poultry ground meats. However adding the mushrooms and parmesan to these chicken meatballs, keeps them juicy and moist in the amazing rich onion sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I oven bake these Mushroom and Parmesan Chicken Meatballs for first and then finish them off in the sauce. I find that the perfect way to keep there lovely round shape and get a nice even colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To form the meatballs, I finely chop the mixture in my  Nutri Ninja Food Processor with Auto IQ technology<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/em>and then add it into the ground meat. You can finely chop with a knife though if you don't have something similar. I find for fussy kids the chopping really fine means I can hide the mushrooms in the meatballs without them even realizing. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also blend the gravy once it has been simmered in the Nutri Ninja Food Blender with Auto IQ technology<\/a> <\/span><\/strong><\/em>too, before adding it back to the pan, it makes the gravy lovely a smooth. A stick blender should work fine though. <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to serve these Mushroom and Parmesan Chicken Meatballs with these   Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> - which go perfectly with the yummy gravy. But they would also go great with this Sweet Potato Mash<\/a><\/strong><\/span> or Cauliflower Mash<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for a SP day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If mash is not your thing, then serve the Mushroom and Parmesan Chicken Meatballs with these Crushed Roast Potatoes<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can omit the cheese from these, they are still as tasty. I have done them both ways in the past. You can even serve the meatballs just as they are without the gravy, they make a great taster food or appetizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are also gluten free so perfect for anyone with a gluten intolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wondering what vegetables to serve these with? I saut\u00e9ed some onions, mushrooms and green pepper which was just perfect with the Mushroom and Parmesan Chicken Meatballs, but they would go well with a variety of different sides.
