Ang’s Recipe Tips

✔️ Use keto breadcrumbs, or substitute crushed pork rinds, almond flour, coconut flour, almond meal, or crushed nuts.

✔️ If your meat mixture is too dry, add a splash of milk

✔️ For uniform meatballs, I like to use a large cookie scoop.

✔️ If the chicken mixture is too wet, add a little bit more cheese or additional bread crumbs.

Storage

To Store: Store leftover cooked meatballs in an airtight container for 4-5 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)

To Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of water. Set the temperature to medium low and cover. The steam will help to warm the meatballs without overcooking them.

To Freeze: These meatballs freeze beautifully and are one of my favorite meal prep recipes! I like making a double batch and freezing half for another time. Here’s how to freeze them:

• Allow the low carb meatballs to cool completely.
• Place the sheet tray of meatballs into the freezer for one hour to flash freeze.
• Then, place meatballs into a large freezer bag. Don’t forget to label it!

To Thaw: Remove from the freezer and allow your meatballs to thaw overnight in the fridge.

Variations

The first time you try any new recipe, we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our easy keto chicken meatballs recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:

• Substitute ground turkey for the chicken.
• For less spicy meatballs, omit the cayenne pepper and instead use black pepper. You can also add Italian Seasoning to the meatballs if you like.
• Instead of fresh parsley, substitute your favorite fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or oregano.
• If you’re not watching your carbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs.

These keto meatballs are also delicious drizzled with buffalo sauce and served with blue cheese over cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower.
