Chicken Apple Meatballs
Time: 10 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook
Servings: 5
Directions
- Using hands, squeeze out all excess water from grated apples.
- Still using hands, mix apple with ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chicken seasoning, minced onion, herbes de Provence, paprika and pepper. Mix until just combined–don’t over mix.
- Form mix into 20 meatballs (don’t make too big or they won’t cook thru).
- Roll balls in flour to lightly dust. Shake off excess.
- Fill a large, deep-sided skillet half full with vegetable oil.
- Heat oil until hot, but not smoking.
- Place meatballs in oil one-by-one and pan fry until lightly on all sides, about 8 minutes, or until cooked thru.
- Using tongs, remove meatballs from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.
- To make dijon dipping sauce, whisk together honey, dijon and mayo until combined.
- Serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.

Summary
These are fantastic! Serve as a snack, an appetizer, or with fresh veggies as a main course. Plus kids love ‘em! And don’t worry about frying in a deep skillet of oil. They aren’t greasy because ground chicken absorbs very little oil during cooking. Now that you have this recipe, no need for those icky frozen meatballs!
