This herbed chicken meatball recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. We can have these savory morsels on the table in less than 30 minutes, and they’re always a hit, regardless of how we serve them. They’re the perfect pair to spaghetti, and they make amazing sandwiches. The kids like them best on their own, dipped in a side of marinara. We think the satisfying herb flavor tastes incredible on top of a fresh green salad.
With so much great flavor, it’s no wonder these meatballs are regulars at our dinner table! Having recipes that are delicious to eat and easy to prepare help to keep our weeknight dinners easy and offer up great variety.
