❤️ Why You’ll Love Firecracker Meatballs
Quick: Make these firecracker meatballs in only 25 minutes Spicy: These meatballs have a good kick but the spice level is definitely not overbearing Easy: You don’t need to be a master chef to pull off this dish for a dinner party, meal prep, or easy dinner
🍲 Ingredients
Chicken Breast – The best part of these firecracker meatballs is that they’re loaded with protein from the chicken breast which is a lean, healthy protein source. I love it when I can make a protein-packed meal and don’t have to cram a bunch of protein-packed ingredients to reach one goal. This one uses simple ingredients and it tastes great Hot Sauce – The sauce is the firecracker of this recipe. You can totally eat these meatballs with a non-spicy sauce if you prefer, or decide how spicy you want to make this recipe based on the hot sauce you choose to use.
