Chicken meatballs are a flavorful and versatile protein option commonly enjoyed in various cuisines, including Italian, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. Made from ground chicken blended with ingredients such as breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, onions, herbs, and spices, they offer a light and tender texture. Compared to traditional beef or pork meatballs, chicken meatballs tend to be lower in fat and calories, making them a leaner choice for those seeking a healthier meal. They are an excellent source of protein, which supports muscle repair and growth, and often contain minimal saturated fat when baked or grilled rather than fried. However, depending on the recipe, added ingredients like cheese, high-sodium seasonings, or fatty sauces can increase calorie and sodium levels. Pairing chicken meatballs with nutrient-rich vegetables or whole grains can enhance their health benefits while maintaining their delicious appeal.
