Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 c red onion, minced
3 garlic toes, minced (about 3 tbsp)
1 egg
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 c panko bread crumbs
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic, granulated or powdered
1 tsp onion, granulated or powdered
1/4 tsp dill weed, dried (optional)
1/4 tsp basil, dried
1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb ground chicken
4 oz block bleu, feta, mozzarella,or your favorite cheese (cut into half-inch cubes)
BUFFALO SAUCE INGREDIENTS
4 Tbsp butter (or light margarine)
1 c buffalo wing sauce
1/2 tsp garlic, granulated or powdered

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add red onion, garlic, egg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and seasonings to a large bowl then stir with a fork to combine.
  • 2. Add ground chicken then mix until combined - do not over mix or the meatballs will be tough. Roll mixture into 2" balls (use a small ice cream scoop.) Press a cube of Bleu cheese into the center of each meatball then close the mixture around the cheese and seal meat together.
  • 3. Meanwhile, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat; add sauce and granulated garlic and stir to combine. Turn heat to low and simmer until sauce begins to thicken and reduce slightly.
  • 4. Place meatballs onto a buttered or sprayed cooling rack and put rack inside a baking pan; bake for 15 minutes.
  • 5. Brush the top of each meatball with the sauce and bake them another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees.
  • 6. Serve with remaining sauce, Bleu Cheese dressing, celery & carrot sticks. *NOTES: You may substitute the Buffalo wing sauce with your favorite Marinara or BBQ sauce. You can omit the cheese, if desired. It still makes really good meatballs.
  • 7. *Note: These also make excellent sliders.
