Switch things up with chicken meatballs – less saturated fat than beef, better for your heart! Cooked in microwave in under 5 min, thanks to the Multipurpose Steamer–talk about convenience.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken or lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp Tuscan Chicken Burger Seasoning or Za'atar Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1⁄4 cup light sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon-style mustard

Preparation

  1. In large bowl, using a fork, combine ground meat, seasoning, and water. Form into 16 meatballs (about a scant 2 tbsp each).
  2. Arrange in a single layer in Multipurpose Steamer (it’s OK if they touch). Cover and microwave on high, for 4 min or until cooked. Uncover; let sit about 1 min before serving.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and mustard.
  4. When meatballs are cooked, carefully drain off liquid from bottom of steamer, reserving 2 tbsp juices. Stir into sauce in bowl. Pour one quarter over meatballs (in steamer); gently stir to coat.
  5. Serve meatballs with remaining sauce for dipping. Shake on topper, if using.
