Hi guys! In today’s video I’m making one of my favorite summer recipes — homemade pesto chicken meatballs with fresh basil straight from my garden. I’m serving them up with simple grilled carrots and courgettes for the easiest weeknight dinner that’s full of flavor, protein, and veggies.

I love sharing these garden-to-table meals with you, and I hope it inspires you to try something fresh and new in your kitchen!

🍃 PESTO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Ingredients:
– ¾ cup homemade or store-bought pesto (see recipe below), plus more for serving
– ½ cup panko bread crumbs
– 1 large egg
– Salt and black pepper
– 1 pound ground chicken
– ½ cup grated Parmesan

Directions:

Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, mix pesto, panko, egg, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until the panko is fully moistened. Add chicken and Parmesan, mixing gently until just combined (don’t overmix).

Form into 15 small meatballs (about 2 tbsp each) and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Serve with extra pesto on top and grilled carrots + courgettes on the side.
