Chicken Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 slices fat-free bread
1 small onion
2 medium-size carrots
1 lb. ground chicken
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1/2 lb. medium-size mushrooms
2 (14 1/2 oz.) cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 c. frozen Italian-style green beans
1 c. frozen small white onions
chopped pitted ripe olives for garnish
Italian bread (optional)

Preparation

About 1 hour before serving, preheat oven to 400\u00b0. Grease 13 x 9-inch metal baking pan. Chop bread until fine crumbs form (you will have about 1 cup crumbs). Grate enough onion to equal 1 tablespoon. Finely shred carrots to equal 1/2 cup. In large bowl, mix bread crumbs, onion, shredded carrots, ground chicken, salt and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Shape chicken mixture into 20 meatballs. (Meatball mixture is very moist and sticky; for easier shaping, use wet hands.) Place meatballs in baking pan; bake 25 minutes or until meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through.
