Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Bento Box

Recipe Description

This Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Bento Box recipe is a really handy paleo lunch. I like to make a batch of these in advance and leave them to cool before dividing into lunchboxes. I serve them for lunch alongside some salad and pita bread. 

To make these meatballs, simply mix the ground chicken with an egg, almond meal, bell pepper, green onions, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Shape the mixture into balls and bake in the oven. Once cooked, toss with warmed buffalo sauce and serve with ranch dressing. If you are having these for lunch, they taste delicious cold too. 

To make my Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Bento Box, you will need the following ingredients:
