Chicken meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Made with tender chicken thighs, aromatic herbs, and a hint of zesty lemon, these meatballs are packed with flavor. They are also a healthier alternative to traditional beef or pork meatballs, making them perfect for a nutritious meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.
- Use fresh, high-quality chicken thighs for the best texture and flavor.
- Finely mince the garlic to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the meatballs.
- Mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
- Shape the meatballs evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. A cookie scoop can help with this.
- For a burst of freshness, add some lemon zest to the meatball mixture.
- If you're baking the meatballs, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- To keep the meatballs juicy, avoid overcooking them. Check for doneness by ensuring they are firm to the touch and have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- You can freeze any leftover meatballs for a quick meal on busy days. Just reheat them in the oven or on the stove.
Enjoy your homemade chicken meatballs as a main dish, in a sub, or tossed with your favorite pasta. With their rich flavor and satisfying texture, they are sure to become a family favorite. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply preparing a weeknight meal, these meatballs are a delicious and healthy choice.
