Chicken Meatballs with Honey Mustard Sauce

Recipe Description

Perfectly moist and juicy, these Chicken Meatballs with Honey Mustard Sauce are quick to make and super satisfying. I like to flavor them with thyme, rosemary, garlic and onion. Grating the onion before adding it to the meatball mixture is a smart trick for moist and juicy meatballs. So use a box grater with small holes to grate the onion, or use the shredding blade of a food processor to make the job even easier. 

This recipe calls for cooking the meatballs in the oven at a high temperature. However, you can also use an air fryer. Put the meatballs in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 °F for 10 to 12 minutes until the internal temperature reads 165 °F. Serve the meatballs with creamy mashed potatoes or a simply cooked green vegetable for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!

To make the Chicken Meatballs with Honey Mustard Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
