I love meatballs, however sometimes I just want a change from the normal so I make these Rosemary Garlic Chicken Meatballs. They are a simple meatball to make but they have amazing flavor. Whenever I make these Rosemary Garlic Chicken Meatballs I double the batch because then we have left overs.
When making these chicken meatballs it is important to remember that chicken is a softer meat, so your chicken meatballs are not going to end up perfect balls.
With these baked chicken meatballs you are going to get the amazing flavors of rosemary and garlic, but don’t worry the rosemary is not overwhelming at all. I know I tend to sometimes fear rosemary because it can be a very strong flavor.
These Rosemary Garlic Chicken Meatballs are amazing and are always a HUGE hit in my house! You can eat them alone and make a side of veggies or add them to your homemade pasta sauce and put on top of spaghetti!

What are the 4 garlic cloves and the rosemary sprig used for? There are 3 garlic cloves in the meatballs, but four more listed…
You add them to the pan right before you add them to the pan.
Thank you!
I am confused how this is 4 points when ground chicken is free on the freestyle so the 1/2 cup of breading is 4 points …so confused
A serving is 4 meatballs, each meatball is 1 point 🙂
These meatballs are super delicious! I made them tonight and there were no complaints, only “yums”! The one thing I did differently was skip the browning part in the skillet and put them straight into the oven on a baking pan. We’ll enjoy these many times…thank you!
Im glad you enjoyed them 🙂
