I’ve been slaving away in the kitchen this week and with more than 70 meatballs (three different types) to make for my hubby’s big birthday celebration this weekend, I am all meatball-rolled out. But all the rolling will be well worth it when the meatballs are turned into party sliders. Yum! So be prepared for many meatball recipes to come including today.
These Chicken Meatballs are the perfect twist on the traditional beef-filled meatball. I’ve added tons of cilantro and green onions that boosts the flavors to a fantastic yumminess. These are a great and healthy alternative and your tummy won’t even know that these are figure friendly. I will be pairing these meatballs with salsa verde to give it that kick of tomatillo love. Topped with a bit of pico de gallo and a light sprinkling of cheese and you’ve got yourself a winning meatball slider.
