Easy Chicken Meatballs
Easy Chicken Meatballs
These chicken meatballs are the very best meatballs ever, the healthier version of everyone’s favorite.
Ground chicken breast, seasoned with rich traditional Italian flavors, so good you’ll want to make them often.
Think pasta and meatballs, meatball sandwiches or just a bowl of meatballs with sour dough bread to sop up the homemade marinara sauce.
Chicken meatballs can be used in many different ways and frozen for ready made meals for busy weeknight dinners, or unexpected company is coming.
It’s not often you find a meal everyone will love, when you do it’s a win-win.
While the Italian meatball may not rival in popularity in the same way as the American hamburger, it still has a big following across the nation. I know they ‘re popular in my house
The Definition Of Meatballs
The definition of meatballs is ground meat that is shaped into a ball. In Italian meatballs they are made from beef or veal and either fried or baked before finishing the cooking process in marinara sauce. We had this meal twice a week when I was growing up, on Thursday and Sunday.
I still make the same meal for my family at least once a week using ground chicken. These chicken meatballs are a healthier version of the classic without losing
any of the authentic Italian flavors. I made them even healthier by baking them in my Cuisinart air fryer
A few tips
Don’t over mix the meat mix only until well blended,

Pre portion the meat before forming into meatballs
Don’t overcook bake total cooking time is 30 minutes 1o minutes in the oven and 20 minutes in the marinara sauce
