Ingredients
Chicken Meatballs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Set out 1-2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, or greased with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Cook the bacon via your preferred method until crisp, and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool.
- Once bacon is cool enough to handle, chop well, and add to a large mixing bowl with the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, cheddar, ranch seasoning, garlic and parsley.
- Mix meatball ingredients together with your hands until just combined. Do not over-mix, or meatballs will be tough.
- Once mixture is well combined, roll meatballs, about 1 tablespoon each, and transfer to prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on how big you made your meatballs- smaller ones will only take about 15 minutes to cook through), turning meatballs halfway through so that both sides brown evenly.
- Serve with ranch dressing.
- Makes 30-35 cocktail sized meatballs
