RITZY CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Written By Samantha Harris

These chicken meatballs have become a weekly staple in our house. It takes a total of 35 minutes to assemble, bake, eat, and store. We make them so much that one day, I ran out of breadcrumbs and substituted Ritz Crackers, and these Ritzy Chicken Meatballs came to be. I bake these in the oven so they have longevity. We make sandwiches, eat them with pasta and sauce or pasta and butter, toss ‘em in a salad. Choose your own adventure meatball, if you will. Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Pre-heat oven to 405

  2. Crush ritz crackers

  3. Add Poultry Seasoning, Salt, Pepper, Olive Oil and Water + Egg

  5. Add Ground Chicken

  6. Mix Until combine

  7. Olive oil your hands, rack and scooper
