Ingredients
- 1 LB ground chicken

- 1/4 cup red or green bell peppers diced (I use half of each color)
- 1 Tablespoon sweet onion diced
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon stone ground mustard
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 jar 24 oz pasta sauce of choice
- 1 1/2- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2 quart baking dish with no stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the ground chicken, salt, pepper, bell peppers, onions, mayonnaise, and stone ground mustard. Slightly combine all ingredients using hands, or a fork. Add the parmesan cheese and combine ingredients well.
- Form mixture into desired size meatballs. From 1-inch appetizers to 3 inch for dinner size. Place meatballs into baking dish. Spoon half of the pasta sauce over the meatballs.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with the remaining pasta sauce and the mozzarella cheese. Return to oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and the sauce is warm.
- Serve warm as a main course in dinner, over pasta with crusty bread and salad, or as a meatball sub.
