BBQ Chicken Meatballs
Juicy and flavor-packed meatballs for your next meal prep. Baked BBQ chicken meatballs are the tastiest protein for easy dinners or lunches.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground chicken
- ⅔ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, I like Balderson white cheddar
- ⅓ cup quick oats
- 1 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, diced small
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ cup barbecue sauce, divided
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Equipment
- 1.5-Tbsp cookie scoop
Instructions
- Position your oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 400 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients for your BBQ chicken meatballs using 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce. Using a gloved hand or wooden spoon, mix until ingredients are well-distributed. Be careful not to over-mix your meat.
- Use a 1.5-Tbsp cookie scoop to form meatballs. Add meatballs to the lined sheet pan, making sure they aren't touching. Repeat until all meat has been used.
- Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 F and the bottoms are golden brown.
- When your meatballs are done cooking, add them to a clean mixing bowl with the remaining 1/3 cup of barbeque sauce. Toss until coated, adding more barbecue sauce as desired.
- Serve with rice and vegetable of choice. Enjoy!
