Directions

1. Transfer zucchini noodles to a shallow plate with 1/2 cup water and cook covered in the microwave for 2 minutes.

2. In the meantime, in a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cheese, grated garlic, Italian seasoning, crumbled bouillon cube, red chili pepper flakes, chopped cilantro, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or fork and form medium balls. Arrange on a plate and set aside.

3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the chicken meatballs for 8 – 10 minutes on all sides, until browned and cooked through. While cooking, baste the meatballs with the mix of butter and juices. Remove to a clean plate and set aside.

4. In the same skillet melt remaining tablespoon butter; then add lemon juice, chicken stock, hot sauce, minced garlic, parsley and red pepper flakes (if you want). Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring regularly until the sauce has reduced a bit. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and garnish with more cilantro or parsley if you like.

5. Divide cooked zucchini noodles into meal prep containers. Then top with chicken meatballs and garnish with lemon slices. Drizzle a little of the sauce over the meatballs and zucchini noodles, or keep the sauce into small containers. Reheat quickly in the microwave when ready to heat. Enjoy!

Note: If you like your zucchini noodles crunchier, skip step one and keep them raw in your meal prep box. Just reheat with the meatballs in the microwave.
