Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground chicken (see note 1 in comments)
  • 7 cloves garlic, grated or minced (divided)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped (divided)
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (divided)
  • 1 cup fresh basil, chopped (divided)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (divided)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot starch + 2-3 tbsp of water or bone broth

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 of your chopped garlic, onion powder, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp oregano, almond flour, 1/2 cup chopped basil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper and mix gently until combined
  3. Using damp hands (I like to coat my hands in avocado oil) and roll the meatball mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls
  4. Add the meatballs to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes then broil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown
  5. When the meatballs have almost finished baking, start making your sauce by heating a large nonstick skillet over medium heat
  6. Add the rest of your sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes to the pan (the tomatoes should have enough oil but use extra oil as needed) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
  7. Stir in the coconut milk, bone broth, and nutritional yeast and bring to a slow simmer
  8. In a small glass, combine the arrowroot starch and a few tbsp of water or broth and whisk until no lumps remain
  9. Whisk the arrowroot slurry into the simmering sauce and allow the sauce to thicken and stir in the remaining fresh chopped basil
  10. When the meatballs have finished broiling, remove them from the oven and add them to the sauce, stirring gently to coat
  11. Simmer for a few minutes before removing from heat
  12. Serve over starch of choice and enjoy!
