Ingredients
  • Large bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Explode

Ingredients
Chicken Meatballs
  • One pound ground chicken
  • One teaspoon salt
  • Half teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup pork rinds
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, mixed

Alfredo sauce:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups grated mason cheese

Ingredient Notes:
  • Ground Chicken I use ground chicken with a little bit of chicken to get juicy meatballs but you can also use lean chicken.But it can lead to dry meatballs.
Pork:
  • I use pork as a substitute for breadcrumbs to bind the meatballs. We can also use almond flour breadcrumbs to bind the meatballs.
Parmesan Cheese:
  • I add freshly shredded parmesan cheese because it is better for adding to Alfredo sauce and meatballs because it melts well. You can also use pre-grated parmesan cheese.But it contains an anti-caking agent which will prevent the cheese from melting properly.
Heavy Whipping Cream:
  • I use heavy whipping cream to make a smooth and delicious sauce. We can also use low-fat whipping cream but it may not be as creamy as full-fat whipping cream.
Butter:
  • We use butter to prepare this Alfredo sauce
Eggs:
  • We use eggs in meatballs and they also act as a binding agent to make these meatballs.
Olive oil:
  • I add a small amount of olive oil to the meatballs and also to brown them.

To make the meatballs:
  1. Take a large bowl and add the pork, mason cheese, olive oil, minced chicken, and spices.

To make the Alfredo sauce:
