Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 egg

    • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

    • ¼ cup finely diced cilantro

    • 2 tablespoons finely diced green onion

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    • Carrot sticks

Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven:
      Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

    1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture:
      In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, panko breadcrumbs, cilantro, green onion, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.

    1. Form the Meatballs:
      Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

    1. Bake the Meatballs:
      Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until fully cooked. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

    1. Toss in Buffalo Sauce:
      Once the meatballs are cooked, place them in a large bowl and toss with ⅓ cup of Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

    1. Serve and Garnish:
      Transfer the meatballs to a serving plate. Garnish with diced green onion, cilantro, and blue cheese dressing if desired. Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and extra Buffalo sauce or ranch/blue cheese dressing on the side.
