Barbecue Chicken Meatballs

These barbecue chicken meatballs offer a delicious, high-protein twist on a classic comfort food. By using lean chicken mince and a touch of applesauce for moisture, these savoury bites remain incredibly juicy while absorbing the deep, smoky flavours of the barbecue sauce. The addition of grated onion and a hint of chilli provides a subtle heat that perfectly balances the sweetness of the glaze, making them a hit for both adults and children alike.

Ideal for a quick midweek meal or as a crowd-pleasing party snack, this versatile dish is effortless to prepare. Serve them alongside a crisp green salad and some fluffy rice for a balanced dinner, or enjoy them on their own as a healthy, high-protein treat. Because they cook so quickly in the frying pan, you can have a nutritious, homemade meal on the table in less than twenty minutes.
