These Chicken Meatballs they are a versatile and delicious dish, in short easy to prepare and perfect for any moment of the day. I use ground chicken for these meatballs, but ground turkey will work just as well. I like to season them with a blend of spices and herbs to create a savory, satisfying flavor. To enhance the texture and flavor I like to pair the chicken with breadcrumbs, onions, garlic and vegetables such as carrots or potatoes.
We like to shape the mixture into round, flat discs and cook them in various ways, including in a pan or in the oven. As a leaner alternative to beef meatballs, these chicken meatballs are a healthier choice for those watching their dietary intake.
You can serve chicken meatballs in several ways, as a classic sandwich on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes, in a wrap, as a protein-rich salad dressing, or as an appetizer alongside your favorite dips.
These chicken meatballs are sure to become a family favorite and a staple in many households.
