    Healthy Baked Chicken Meatballs  on a sheet pan with ketchup this recipe

    These come in so handy on nights I don't feel like cooking. I like to dip them in a mound of ketchup like they are chicken nuggets. Sometime I’ll pair them with a salad, frozen French Fries, or just eat them by themselves. If i feel like adding a little more effort into dinner, I'll toss these in a BBQ or orange chicken sauce and serve them with rice and steamed vegetables.

    They are very versatile and I really do like having a bag of these in my freezer for when I’m not in the mood to make dinner.

    This recipe was inspired by Pinch of Yum's Baked Chicken Meatballs.

    Do you have questions?

    What sauce do you put on chicken meatballs?

    I like to eat mine with ketchup or BBQ sauce.

    Can I use ground turkey instead?

    Sure can!

    What other cheese can I use?

    Parmesan will give the meatballs a more mellow cheese taste, smoked gouda would be good. You can use any shredded cheese you'd like.

    Watch how it's made…

    I hope you love these Healthy Chicken Meatballs! If you make it, leave a comment! You can also share a photo on Instagram and tag #meganvskitchen. Enjoy!

      Your meatballs look amazing on the photo Megan! Usually, I'm using pork or beef, sometimes mixed, when making meatballs... but looks like it's about time to try chicken also.

      BTW: do you think using regular plain breadcrumbs instead of panko will make any major difference?
