I knew I wanted to make chicken meatballs, but could not find a recipe that I liked. So, I made my own. I used crackers instead of bread crumbs and used Italian seasoning instead of a lot of other spices that I saw in other recipes. I also baked mine instead of frying them since we try not to eat a lot of fried foods around here. The result...a SCRUMPTIOUS meatball with a slightly crispy edge...think hush puppy. Five stars all around!

*Disclaimer: I rarely measure when cooking, so the measurements above are an estimate, but I'm confident they are fairly accurate!

I would also like to ask a favor...give me some feedback! If you make ANY of these recipes, let me know how it was...and let me know any variations you did!
