Chicken Marsala Meatballs swaps chicken breasts for ground chicken for a fun twist on an Italian-American classic. Easy and fun dinner meal prep!
Chicken Marsala, with its wine sauce and mushrooms and shallots, is a classic for good reason. It's often served with mashed potatoes or pasta, but in this case, we've taken out the carbs and made this a meatball dish you're going to love to meal prep. As written, this recipe is gluten free and keto.
This process for cooking these meatballs is less messy because they are baked! That's right! This recipe skips all the oil. Combine the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix together gently, using clean hands. Bake them for a bit and while that's going on, put together the mushroom marsala sauce. That's not difficult at all, as it just involves cooking the mushrooms down a bit, simmering them in chicken stock and marsala wine, and then thickening it with plain Greek yogurt. Once the sauce is finished you can steam up some green beans and reheat some store-bought mashed potatoes (or make them from scratch if desired).
Once this is all prepped, simply store them in airtight containers along with the sides. This recipe will keep for 4 to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave, the stovetop, or in a low oven (cover everything loosely with foil so it doesn't dry out).
This is pretty much a complete meal as we've written the recipe. However! You can make it with pasta instead of mashed potatoes, or even rice. Green beans are awesome, sure, but try broccoli if you want. And if you're not avoiding bread, a nice hunk of crusty bread would be so so good with this dish. (So would a green salad, but we're always about a good green salad around here!)
Feel free to use ground turkey instead of chicken, if you want. It will taste similar but not the same. You can also use regular flour instead of almond flour, and cornstarch instead of arrowroot powder, if need be.
If you want to stretch out these servings, you can serve fewer meatballs per person, or even double the recipe and freeze half of them, which is always a meal prep winner!
