Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

For the meatballs:

• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 Tbsp finely diced red onion
• ¼ cup finely diced celery
• ¼ cup finely diced carrot
• 1 lb lean ground chicken
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup breadcrumbs

For the sauce:

• ½ cup red hot sauce
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• Serve along with celery & carrot sticks as well as ranch or bleu cheese dressing

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the 3 Tbsp olive oil, red onion, carrot and celery. Cook until softened. Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder and a little salt & pepper. Allow to cool.
2. In a bowl add the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumb and the veggies. Mix until evenly combined. Form into golf ball sized meatballs.
3. In the same pan you cooked the veggies, add a little drizzle of olive oil just to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook the meatballs until lightly golden brown on each side. Add the meatballs to a baking dish.
4. Bake the meatballs at 385 degrees for about 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
5. In a pot add the red hot sauce, butter and 2 tsp of garlic powder to a pot. Simmer until warmed through. Coat the meatballs and serve.
