Basil Chicken Meatballs with Summer Couscous.

These basil chicken meatballs and couscous are one of our favorite meals! Juicy and tender meatballs are served over couscous made with pesto, burst tomatoes and fresh sweet corn. Delicious summer dish!

Another day, another meatball! 

These herby chicken meatballs are juicy and delicious, served over summer couscous with fresh corn and tomatoes. It tastes like a big bowl of summer all while being incredibly satisfying and flavorful. 

Just when you thought I couldn’t create another meatball… here I am! 

If I meatball something, my family will eat it. That’s how it goes these days. 

A meal like this is one I love to make for dinner. It looks fancy and filling but it’s quite simple with the summer/garden produce that we have. The meatballs don’t take long at all 

P.S. in Easy Everyday, I have a zucchini chicken meatball recipe that is super delicious! Must try. 

These chicken meatballs are my basic recipe. I made a version of these often and today’s meatball is packed with some parm and fresh basil. I love how easy this recipe is because you can add just about anything to it! 

It’s a meatball that I frequently make in the summer because it is very light. But add some sauce and melty cheese to it – and then it works in the winter too. So it’s extremely versatile and just tastes flat out delicious. It’s a very neutral and delicious flavor so my kids love it. 

Once I finish browning the meatballs, I throw some corn and cherry tomatoes right in the pan. Not only do the take on some of those seared flavor bits, they get a bit caramelized and taste amazing. The corn is cut right from the cob so it remains crunchy and fresh.  (more…)
