Copycat Amylu's Kickin' Cranberry Meatballs

Another meatball copy cat. Easy and delicious.









1 1/4 lb ground chicken breast(pre-ground or you can do breasts in your food processor or food grinder)
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 Tb minced jalapeno peppers
1 tsp raw sugar(original recipe calls for cane juice)
1 tsp maple sugar
1 tsp water
1/4 tsp chipotle powder(more or less to taste)
salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350

Combine all ingredients and mix well.









Form into meatballs by Tablespoon sized scoops and place onto a greased baking sheet(I prefer a broiling pan)









Bake for 20 minutes until the meatballs reach 170 degrees. Turning about 1/2 way through.

Broil for 3-5 minutes until browned

Serve over pasta with a lite sauce. I prefer a simple tomato marinara but they are absolutely delicious all by themselves.






W/O the Jalapenos for the kiddos....
