Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
I have found that, with all of this time at home, I have been able to spend more time pouring through my cookbooks and saved recipes on Pinterest to really narrow down those recipes that looked delicious, but I had never tried them before. The first one that caught my eye, mostly because it’s inspired by a favorite dish in my family and because it is full of pantry staples, was this recipe for Chicken Parmesan Meatballs by What’s Gaby Cooking. I love her simple recipes full of wholesome ingredients. Did we mention that these are stuffed with mozzarella cheese? Absolute heaven. We made ours with Mama Jess Garden organic pasta sauce and served the meatballs...

This week we are putting Mama Jess twist on this recipe posted by @alifefromscratch on Instagram. This crockpot pizza chicken is everything you need after a long day of homeschooling during this quarantine! Just a few ingredients and throw it in the crockpot for a few hours and POOF dinner is served (though we recommend it with some roasted broccoli or Brussels sprouts!). Not to mention, your entire home will smell like a pizzeria for a few hours as the cheese bubbles and the chicken tenderizes. We only put pepperoni on top but you could also add spinach, browned ground sausage, and more of your favorite toppings! Enjoy this recipe made with pantry staples…and...
