Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Mix ground chicken, rice, egg, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.

Sear meatballs in batches until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer meatballs to a baking dish once browned.

In the same skillet, add chicken broth and tomato sauce, stirring to combine.

Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the baking dish.

Add diced carrots and zucchini around the meatballs.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired.
