DeleteI confess I don't make meatballs very often, but my family LOVES them. These look easy and quick!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that! I don't make meatballs often since they take a bit longer than most things I make. However, these meatballs were relatively quick and easy. :)
DeleteThose sound great! And, really easy, too! My kind of recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Love those simple and tasty recipes. :)
DeleteSo these would be GREAT for a party! I love that you used chicken, too. Thanks for sharing at Pinworthy Projects.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how much less fat chicken has! You're right, they'd be great for parties. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteWhat a great idea, both using chicken for the meatballs and then topping with Cranberry sauce. This is one I will have to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing inspiration to Fridays Blog Booster Party #32

I bet it'd work great with turkey too - kinda like a Thanksgiving meatball. :) Let me know what you think once you get to give it a try!
DeleteI have never used ground chicken, but what a wonderful alternative to a meatball! Would love to try your recipe. Pinning to share. Thank you for taking the time to share your recipe with us at Snickerdoodle Sunday! Have an excellent week!

We like the lighter flavor of chicken in this meatball, and the cranberry sauce compliments it perfectly. :) Hope you enjoy these meatballs! Let me know what you think once you give these a try. :)
DeleteI just pinned this to my meatballs board. I cannot wait to try it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it! We really did. :)
DeleteThese look so good! I've never tried chicken meatballs, but these seem very easy to make. And the cranberry sauce would be a wonderful sweet/tart contrast. Thanks for sharing #MerryMonday
ReplyDeleteI agree! Sometimes I get tired of eating meat balls made from the same meat, and these meatballs are a great way to switch it up. :) The cranberry sauce does provide a wonderful contrast too!
DeleteWhat a neat recipe for the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
It's a fun recipe, isn't it? :)

ReplyDeleteThese meatballs sound so good, love the addition of cranberry sauce on top! Thanks for sharing at What'd You Do This Weekend?!
ReplyDeleteIt really gives these meatballs that extra zing. :) Also a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce!
DeleteWho doesn't like meatballs? Great recipe - Thanks for sharing on the What's for Dinner link up.
ReplyDeleteMeatballs are such fun too! Hope you enjoy this one. :)
DeleteThose look amazing! They remind me of the meatballs that my family has been making for generations! Ours is a Swedish meatball with Lingonberry jam. I imagine it would be similar. That savory/berry combo is to die for!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Savory/berry combo's delicious. :) Lingonberry sounds like a good flavor too. :)
