New York Times Chicken Pesto Meatballs are a flavorful fusion of Italian-inspired cuisine and nourishing ingredients. Crafted with ground chicken, vibrant basil pesto, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, and eggs, these meatballs deliver a balanced savory taste with herbaceous notes. Lean chicken serves as a healthy protein source, perfect for those seeking lighter yet satisfying meals. The inclusion of basil pesto adds a touch of heart-healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, while parmesan provides calcium and extra depth of flavor. Breadcrumbs add structure, though they contribute some refined carbohydrates. These meatballs are often baked or pan-fried, keeping added fats minimal depending on preparation. Whether served over pasta, zucchini noodles, or on their own, they make a versatile and relatively nutritious dish suitable for busy weeknights or special occasions alike.
