How To Prepare
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Place onions, garlic, mushrooms, and water in a small saucepan and cook on medium until the water evaporates and the vegetables are soft. Remove from heat, scrape mixture into a mixing bowl and let cool in refrigerator.
When cool, add the chicken, ketchup, Herbal Pizza & Pasta Magic®, panko, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme and mix well using your hands. Using a 1-ounce scoop or scale to portion, roll meatballs, then place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 170°F. Remove from oven and let rest while preparing the Pesto Sauce.
To make the pesto, place all Pesto Sauce ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the sauce is emulsified, about 15 to 20 seconds. Serve with the meatballs.
