Chicken Parm Meatballs is one of the fan favorite recipes for Drizzle Kitchen clients. They please everyone, they reheat beautifully and are a breeze to put together! The flavor of chicken parmigiana all wrapped up into a juicy and delicious chicken meatball is a fun way to switch up Italian night!

Now, I’ve been using gluten free breadcrumbs for as long as I’ve been gluten free, of course. But recently I was introduced to a new product: Cloudies Cloud Bread! I’ve had “cloud bread” before and have even made it but have never seen it in stores. This new line of tasty little rounds is a game changer! Originally created for those managing diabetes as a bread substitute it’s a perfect lower calorie, gluten free and carb free “bread” for anyone managing a lifestyle that needs any of those things!

But of course I can’t just leave well enough alone, I thought there must be a way to make this into an ingredient or a new recipe! Chicken parm meatballs were perfect! Rather than breadcrumbs, we can use the Cloudies as the structure for the in a lower carb and still tasty way. Plus the Garlic Herb Cloudies already have seasoning in them to help with the Italian flavor of the meatballs. Win win!

Grab yourself some boxes, enjoy them in all the ways and especially use them to make these tasty little meatballs.
