These Whole 30 friendly chicken meatballs are super easy and quick to make. The bonus dressing is bomb! I love keeping these in the fridge for a quick protein. They are great served on top of greens, grains (hey couscous), or by themselves. This recipe also comes with a Lemon Dijon Dressing that we use regularly. We even use the dressing to baste veggies and chicken when we grill. (You will have extra!) Just like most of the recipes I make, this one is also healthy – Whole 30, Keto, Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free! Even if these diets don’t apply to you, do your taste buds a favor and make these!

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m so foggy headed and out of it today. It’s taking a lot of effort to concentrate and not just zoooone out. I’m actually off this weekend (which never happens in the food industry without a request!) and had things I wanted to get done around the house. Maybe its the pollen getting to me already. Jeez! So in honor of laziness and out-of-it-ness I give you, Whole 30 Mediterranean Chicken Meatballs.
David and I LOVE Mediterranean food, so I feel like if you love something you should do it right. Seriously, I CAN NOT WAIT to share more Mediterranean recipes with y’all in the future, but for now think of this as getting your toes wet.
These chicken meatballs are really healthy too so you can feel good about serving them.
These Whole 30 Mediterranean Chicken Meatballs are fluffy and take absolutely no time in kitchen. The dressing is mouth watering and a great pairs wonderfully.
