Spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with Creamy Dip made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled bleu cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon milk optional, for thinner dip

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped green onions, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them crisp up while baking.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • While the meatballs are baking, prepare the creamy dip. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, crumbled bleu cheese, lemon juice, and milk (if using). Stir until smooth and well combined.
  • Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
  • Serve the spicy Buffalo chicken meatballs warm with the creamy dip on the side.
