Chicken Meatballs For Spaghetti and Meatballs

Recipe #52420 | 45 min | 20 min prep | add private note

Once you try these, you'll never go back to beef meatballs.(Well, maybe YOU will!) I searched all over the Internet for chicken meatballs, and found these on eatchicken.com. The texture is much lighter than regular meatballs,and they are downright tasty! Haven't used beef for spaghetti since,and I found this over 2 years ago. The recipe also came with a sauce, but I figured that everyone has their own favorite marinara sauce already. Enjoy!

Where's the six-star option for this one? These meatballs are beyond excellent! Instead of basil, we used a bit of fresh rosemary and parsley as well as a little extra garlic. They were terrific! If I weren't completely full, I'd be going back for seconds now. Well done!

    I love this website...I need to follow recipe's as I don't have the guts to throw things together...however I will admit this recipe needs a little more taste to it...I used ground turkey..I will use more herbs next time as y'all suggested...otherwise quick & easy to prep..I baked in oven and drizzled the olive oil..also added more garlic..but still not enough flavor flavor...thanks though.

    MEP, these are great! I tripled the recipe (to freeze) so I baked in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes. Wonderful flavor and texture.

    MEP, these were fantastic! I made them for supper tonight to go with our spaghetti! The only change I made was to add an extra clove of garlic, since both DH and I are garlic lovers! These meatballs will be a regular in our house from now on! Thanks for sharing this great recipe MEP!
