  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 60 meatballs

Ingredients

– 5 oz (140g) bacon

– 2 lbs (1kg) ground chicken

– 1 large egg

– Β½ cup packed fresh parsley (about 20g)

– 1 cup (60g) Panko breadcrumbs

– 5 garlic cloves, pressed

– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

– 1 Β½ teaspoons salt

– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

– ΒΌ cup (55g) sour cream

– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

– 1 teaspoon creamy horseradish

– 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha

– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1-Preheat the oven and prepare your baking sheets as described: Getting started with this recipe is a fun adventure that anyone can handle. First off, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper for easy cleanup. This step sets the stage for baking without any mess.

2-Process the bacon and combine all meatball ingredients: Next, finely chop the bacon in a food processor to get that perfect texture. Add the ground chicken, egg, parsley, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, then pulse until well combined.

3-Form the meatballs into uniform sizes: Shaping the mixture into about 60 uniform 1-inch meatballs ensures they cook evenly and look great on the plate.

4-Bake until done and prepare the dipping sauce: Arrange the meatballs on your prepared baking sheets and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until fully cooked. In a separate bowl, mix the sauce ingredients until smooth for a creamy dip that complements the meatballs perfectly.

5-Enjoy your meal right away: Serve them warm and watch how quickly they disappear from the table.
