Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Spicy, cheesy, and perfectly poppable, Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Meatballs are the ultimate appetizer to serve for the big game. I mix 99% fat-free ground chicken with a blend of homemade Ranch seasoning, stuffed with salty Feta cheese, then coated in spicy, buttery, buffalo wing sauce. Serve with toothpicks to enjoy all the flavor of a buffalo wing without the muss & fuss.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 small red onion, minced
  • 3 gloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound 99% fat-free ground chicken breast
  • 4 ounces block Feta cheese, cut into 24 ½-inch cubes (will have 6 leftover cubes)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Add red onion, garlic, egg white, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and seasonings to a large bowl then stir with a fork to combine.

Step 2

Add ground chicken then mix until combined – do not overmix or meatballs will be tough. Divide chicken mixture into quarters, then each quarter into 4 balls.

Step 3

Press a cube of Feta into the center of each ball then close mixture around cheese to seal. Place meatballs onto a buttered cooling rack set on top of a baking sheet, then bake for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat then add buffalo wing sauce and stir to combine. Add cooked meatballs to skillet then use a spoon to coat in sauce. Place a lid on top and turn heat to low to keep warm.
