I mean, how can a chicken and veggie meatball really compare to a traditional beef and pork meatball? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was surprised and delighted by the outcome, and I think you will be too. My husband proclaimed that these are his favorite meatballs, and I have to say, I may agree. I&rsquo;ll always have a place in my heart for the real thing, but these chicken zucchini meatballs are so delicious, AND healthy, that I&rsquo;ll use them as my default meatball from now on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a bonus? My kids LOVED them. They&rsquo;re a great way to hide veggies, and zucchini has that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture when cooked the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post I&rsquo;ll show you how to make these easy chicken meatballs, as well as dry out the zucchini so the meatballs stay together well and aren&rsquo;t too liquidy. Be sure to check out the video as well.
