Rosemary Garlic Chicken Meatballs
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.

Tips for Making Chicken Meatballs
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.

What are the 4 garlic cloves and the rosemary sprig used for? There are 3 garlic cloves in the meatballs, but four more listed…
Stephanie says
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
MidgetMomma says
A serving is 4 meatballs, each meatball is 1 point 🙂
Kathy E. says
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!
Stephanie says
Im glad you enjoyed them 🙂
