- 2 tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. white ground pepper
- 1 tsp. herbs de provence
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a food processor, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Pulse until the ingredients are diced. Add the onion mixture to the skillet and sauté for five minutes.
- Finely dice the bell peppers, or also add them to a food processor.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add the breadcrumbs and the seasoning. Mix well.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sauteed onion mixture, gluten-free seasoned breadcrumbs, and egg whites. Mix well.
- Make even-sized meatballs. I like to use a tablespoon or a small scoop, depending on what size meatballs I want.

- Remove from heat.
