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.
