MEmama Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I’d never heard of chicken meatballs until recently but am suddenly inspired to try making them. Does anyone have favorite ways to make and serve them? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We just use them like regular meatballs-whether they're Swedish style or Italian style depends on how they're spiced. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drama Llama Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I sub ground turkey in my regular Italian meatball recipe because I pretend it's healthier, or because turkey is on sale. I have never used chicken, but I don't see why it wouldn't work equally well. But you just inspired me to google and I have now found recipes for various Asian chicken meatballs that I am eager to try. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Greek chicken meatballs in lemon cream sauce. It is, hands down, my favorite thing that I cook. My family humors me when I serve it every other week or so, which is a much more frequent rotation than my other regulars, but they like it also. I grind my own chicken in my food processor, breasts or thighs, and I grind a bunch at a time so I can freeze it flat in 2-pound quantities. I serve them over rice to soak up the lemon sauce. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 We don’t care for butter or cream sauces, which is mostly what I’m finding recipes for. Can they be used in soup, or will they just fall apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drama Llama Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ina Garten uses chicken meatballs in her Italian Wedding soup. I have never actually tried it, but I don't think it's possible that the combination of Ina Garten, chicken meatballs and Italian Wedding soup could be bad. That just doesn't seem possible. Now, I feel the need to put in a new grocery order to get chicken and make this. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/italian-wedding-soup-recipe-1945517 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) BBQ sauce? We got some chicken meatballs in one of those Farms to Families boxes and I fixed them with BBQ sauce and had potato salad as a side. I remember because like everything except the bbq sauce and mustard I used in the potato salad came from the box and I was pretty tickled with that.

Shoeless Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I make turkey meatballs with chopped spinach, mushrooms, and romano cheese. Top it with marinara and a little mozzarella. Yum! It would work with chicken, too. Edited January 7, 2022 by MissLemon 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) We make this turkey meatball recipe — maybe chicken would work. I don’t follow it exactly and I add broccoli and more veg. My kids like it. https://www.budgetbytes.com/sheet-pan-bbq-meatballs/ Edited January 7, 2022 by alisoncooks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace Hopper Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I make them buffalo style and serve them with celery stalks and bleu cheese dressing to dip the celery. Add green beans and/or green salad depending on how solid I need the meal to be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flavor is too heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I make them Asian flavored with grated ginger, egg white, salt, sesame oil, diced water chestnuts, and diced scallions. I serve them with stir fry veggies on either rice or Ramen. Edited January 7, 2022 by HS Mom in NC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 As a main dish with veggies on the side. Now I want to try some of these recipes! DH is not a fan, but the kids like them, and we try to eat them when DH is working during supper hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezyone Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I make chicken meatballs (prefer ground thighs tho) with ginger, sesame oil, and scallions too. We use them in brothy soup with bok Choi and rice noodles. They’re delish. I can/do use ground chicken thighs for anything that would otherwise call for pork like Italian sausage and breakfast sausage (I use the meat grinder attachment on my Kitchenaid. I find chicken breast meat, and commercially processed stuff, either too dry or too funny-tasting. They usually add vinegar and ‘rosemary’ to the blend which throws off my recipes.

ScoutTN Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I put them in soup with carrots, onion, orzo, spinach, and a bit of lemon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 We use them in pasta sauce over zoodles for lunch. If using Asian seasonings/sauce could have them over rice. I’m low carb but I think they’d also be good on a toasted roll with marinara and melted mozz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not chicken, but I serve turkey meatballs with stuck pot rice (without the lentils in this recipe). https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/02/stuck-pot-rice-with-lentils-and-yogurt/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
