Spicy Chicken Meatballs

It’s no secret that we LOVE quick & easy meals around here, especially ones that use budget-friendly ingredients! Believe it or not, these tender and juicy, flavor-packed Chicken Meatballs are a winner. They use mostly basic ingredients, whips up in minutes, and can be flash frozen and cooked in the oven in less than 30 minutes.

To make it as part of a freezer cooking day, just flash freeze the chicken meatballs and split into multiple bags, then throw it right into the freezer–no cooking required!

Here is what you need:

2 lb. chopped chicken meat
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 cups shredded carrots
2 eggs
1 cup Italian Style Panko
Spicy Sauce
Sriracha Sauce
Mayonnaise

Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 375. Then chop green onions and garlic and set aside.

Step 2: Peel and shred carrots, then set aside.

Step 3: Then mix together green onions, garlic, carrots, eggs, and panko into chopped meat.

Step 4: Then use a tablespoon to spoon mixture and roll into meatballs. If you are planning to freeze them, flash freeze them for 30 minutes on a cookie sheet, then scoop into freezer bags.

Step 5: Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until done. Then serve with your favorite vegetable along side some spicy sauce. Mix up some spicy sauce. 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise with 2-3 teaspoons of Sriracha sauce. Add more Sriracha sauce for a spicier sauce less for more mild.

Recipe notes: If not cooking that day you can flash freeze meatballs for 20 minutes. Then place in labeled freezer bag to cook at a later date.

  • These look great! I agree they have to be tasty with the sriracha sauce. Thanks you!

  • Yum! These look delicious. I'm a huge sriracha fan (I put it on everything!) so any recipe that has sriracha in it is a winner in my book!
