Meatballs
500g chicken mince
Panko bread crumbs

1 small onion, finely diced
½ tsp ITALIAN Seasoning Mix

Tomato Sauce
1 small onion, finely diced
1 tsp minced garlic
1 can crushed Tomatoes
1 tbs Tomato Paste

½ tsp raw sugar (*Optional: to give it a little sweetness and take away acidity from tomatoes)

Place all of the chicken meatball ingredients into a large bowl
Mix together until well combined (use hands for this step)
Roll the mixture into tablespoon sized balls and placed into lightly greased large baking dish
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes

Prepare the Sauce
Saute the garlic and onion in a frying pan until soft and translucent.
Add the remaining sauce ingredients and leave to simmer stirring occasionally.

When the sauce has thickened and the meatballs have cooked for 20 minutes, pour the sauce over the top.

Top with grated cheese and bake for a further 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and the meatballs are cooked through. *Move baking dish to lower shelf in the oven (so the cheese doesn’t burn).
