Hailey Bieber’s Chicky Meatballs recipe goes viral
Hailey Bieber’s “Chicky Meatballs” recipe has gained viral popularity online for its simple preparation and unexpected topping. The recipe, which Bieber shared via Instagram, involves mixing ground chicken, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs, and an egg.
After cooking the meatballs in a pan until crispy, the recipe calls for adding a tomato sauce of choice and finishing the dish with a scoop of cottage cheese and grated Parmesan. Bieber noted that she often skips the tomato sauce to create a lower-carb version using only the meatballs, cottage cheese, and Parmesan.
The use of cottage cheese as a topping aligns with a broader culinary trend where the ingredient is utilized for its high protein content and nutritional benefits, including vitamin B12, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium.
