So when I say anytime, I really do mean anytime.
That’s what I love about these baked chicken meatballs. They are SO EASY to make and they can sort of turn into anything. Here are some of their best features:
They are BAKED.
They are CHICKEN. (Turkey’s good, too.)
They use one bowl.
There are no cutting boards involved.
There is no splattery sautéing.
They are meal-prep friendly.
Also freezer friendly.
THEY GO WITH ANYTHING, anytime.
I’m not a meatball lover, but I LOVE THESE MEATBALLS.
These baked chicken meatball bites can go with spaghetti and meatballs, baked rigatoni, or any pasta for that matter. They can be served with mashed cauliflower and green beans (my current favorite), or saved for quick and healthy lunch meal prep with roasted veggies. Half of the batch can be tossed with buffalo sauce and half can be frozen for next week’s Swedish meatball dinner.
I don’t memorize many recipes – I have the magic green sauce, soft chocolate chip cookies, and wild rice soup burned into my brain, but that’s about it. THAT BEING SAID, this baked chicken meatball recipe is absolutely a memorize-the-general-concept-and-make-it-anytime type of situation.
See? Anytime. I told you I was serious about that part.
K, the recipe is such a breeze. Are you ready?

Best Anytime Baked Chicken Meatballs的做法
-
First, your ingredients. Just pile ’em in a bowl. All you really need to remember is panko, parm, egg, and chicken. The spices are pretty flexible.
-
Now OBVIOUSLY WASH YOUR HANDS and take off your rings and all that. And then dive in.
-
Mix, roll, roll, roll. And bake.
-
Put your feet up, relax for a minute, smell the deliciousness coming from the oven.
And then you’re done!
小贴士
One of my favorite things about these is that even with being baked, they get a really nice browned exterior. You can always throw them in a saute pan if you feel like they need a little extra browning, but I will legit eat these straight off the baking sheet. Browned to perfection, if you ask me.
Okay, so what are you going to make with these? Because these are the little baked chicken meatballs that could!
They can be anything they set their minds to. An-y-thing!
