About Chicken meatballs

Chicken meatballs are a versatile dish made from ground chicken mixed with ingredients like breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, and a blend of herbs and spices. Often associated with Italian cuisine, chicken meatballs pair well with marinara sauce, but they can also be adapted for a variety of global flavors, from Asian-inspired teriyaki to Mediterranean tzatziki. Compared to traditional beef or pork meatballs, chicken meatballs are typically lower in fat and calories, making them a lighter protein option. They are a good source of lean protein, which supports muscle growth and repair. However, their nutritional value can vary based on preparation; frying can add unwanted fats, while baking or steaming helps retain a healthier profile. Additionally, sodium content may be higher in pre-seasoned or packaged varieties, so opting for homemade versions allows for better control of ingredients.
