Perfect Chicken Meatballs
The obvious best part about this recipe is the taste… and the simplicity in making it. Check it out: put the spices in the ground chicken, roll them into balls, and bake for about 30 minutes. Yes, that fast.
I was getting bored of making the same chicken meals so I bought a pack of boneless skinless thighs and turned them into ground chicken. Now, my plan was to use them for tacos – BUT, we’d decided to take the kids on a last minute vacation before school started, so I wanted a better way to take chicken without having to worry about it getting hard or not tasting the best when cold.

Granted this isn’t a unique idea, but to my credit, I hadn’t made chicken meatballs before – it’s always been with lamb.
Why you’re going to love this recipe
I’m being completely honest when I say that these chicken meatballs are so delicious. They’re phenomenal right out of the oven hot and super juicy, but they’re also fantastic the next day and the day after that – even cold. They kept their texture and flavour. And the kids went crazy for them, so you know it’s a keeper. And because it’s a keeper, I’m sharing it with you.
Back to this recipe which you’re going to totally fall in love with. On top of everything I’ve already mentioned, these meatballs are free from:
dairy
egg
peanut
tree nuts
fish/shellfish
soy
mustard
sesame
And if your kids are picky eaters, definitely give this a try. They’ll love how tender and tasty the chicken is, without the ‘icky’ soft tissue and cartilage stuff that my kids can’t stand to look at.
