Chicken Meatballs are a true delight. They replace the normal pork meatballs and beef meatballs with a more subtle flavour and texture that will become a family favourite.
I have also used ground turkey instead of chicken at Christmas etc for a lovely surprise. I have not include a great deal of spice in this recipe as it doesnt require it. However, I have used chillies, curry powder and the norm to great success. This recipe is adaptable to suit your own pallettes. If you make different version pleae upload what you did.
