Servings: 618 Meatballs (3 per serving)
Ingredients
1lbsGround Chicken Breast
1cupSeasoned Stuffing Mix
⅓cupMilk(any kind)
1tspDry Oregano
1tspDry Thyme
½tsp Garlic Salt
¼ tspRed Pepper Flakes (optional)
1Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F. Set out two sheet pans with edges. You can line with parchment paper for easy clean up if you want to.
In a small bowl combine the seasoned stuffing mix, milk and all the seasonings (oregano, thyme, garlic salt, red pepper flakes) Allow the stuffing mix to absorb the milk (about 1-2 minutes)
In a large bowl, add your ground chicken breasts, stuffing mixture and an egg.
Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed. The mixture may seem more wet than compared to beef meatballs, that is okay.
Using a meatball scoop or a spoon, scoop them into 2 inch balls and place on your sheet-pan. They will be a little wet and sticky.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165F
