Buffalo Chicken Meatball

Hello blog friends!  Happy Friday!  I am very excited about this weekend.  I don't have to work (yeah!) and we have a very special party to attend on Saturday afternoon.

Last night I was very proud of myself.  I made up what I think is a wonderful recipe..all by myself!  No cookbook, no googling, just me!


I had a plan to make creamy chicken meatballs with fresh basil and parsley.  For those of you who live in Central Florida it was a weeeee bit wet outside.  Therefore I didn't venture outside to my garden to pick herbs.  Water all over my floors?  No thank you!  So I had to think...think, think, think Carissa.  What to put with ground chicken??  BUFFALO!


I was very pleased with the way the recipe turned out on the first try.  Very easy and great flavor.  I think you could even make a buffalo chicken meatball sub.  My recipe isn't exact.  I'm more of a "just dump" chef than a precise, measuring chef. I also think I might add more "spice" next time and maybe red pepper flakes.

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

• 1 package lean ground chicken
• 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 cup (or more) Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce (I kept pouring until the chicken was saturated but not too moist to form meatballs)
• 1T diced garlic
• Goat cheese (or blue cheese)

Procedure:

• Mix breadcrumbs and egg white in a bowl and allow to soften
• Mix all ingredients
• Form meat mixture into meatballs and place on a greased cookie sheet
• Using a wooden spoon (or whatever) poke a hole into the meatball, but don't go all the way through
• Fill the hole with goat/blue cheese
• Bake at 450 for 18-22 minutes or until cooked through

Enjoy!  If you like this then also take a look at my Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken.  I'm a buffalo gal!

Love and wing sauce,
