Juicy Lean Meatballs
Chicken Meatballs are a great alternative to ground beef. They are lean but packed full of flavor. Give them a try and see what you think. There are many variations of this recipe but I think this one may be our favorite.
By using a great blend of Italian seasoning you'll be able to make the otherwise bland chicken come alive. Try stale bread soaked in milk instead of breadcrumbs for a moister meatball. Also, you can use Romano cheese instead of Parmesan to give it a sharper flavor. Again, like many recipes, experiment until you find your favorite blend of herbs and spices.
These meatball are delicious served fried all by themselves or with your favorite marinara sauce. Serve them as appetizers or over pasta for heartier main meal.
