Ground Chicken Buffalo Sauce Meatballs
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken (minced chicken)
¼ cup buffalo sauce - this is for the mixture
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic - minced
1 carrots - minced
2 celery - stick of celery minced
2 green onions (scallions or green shallots) - minced
1 tablespoon blue cheese - crumbled or diced small- ¼ cup buffalo sauce - this is for the sauce
1 tablespoon butter - melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with tin foil.
- Finely chop or mince your celery, green onion and carrot. TIP: I simply put my veggies in a blender with a cup of water and pulse a few times, strain the veggies and pat dry. They come out perfect. It is so easy. You can use a food processor too. Add your celery, green onions, carrots, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, garlic, and blue cheese to a large bowl and mix.
- Add buffalo sauce to the mixture and mix.
- Add ground chicken into the bowl and mix with hands.
- Form mixture into small golf ball-sized balls. Place on tin foiled baking sheet.
- Bake 30 minutes.
- While meatballs are baking, heat on low ¼ cup of buffalo sauce and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir sauce. Once meatballs are done, pour sauce over meatballs and serve. You can add a little Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing to the top of the meatballs if you like.
- You can place the cooked meatballs and the sauce in a crockpot to keep warm if you are serving them at a party.
