Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  2. Mix the bread crumbs, egg, milk, garlic, onion, parsley, and ranch seasoning until well combined. Then work in the ground chicken until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Roll into 2 inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temp of 165˚F.
  4. In a sauce pan over medium heat, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, sour cream, milk, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, and parmesan until the cheese is melted and everything is combined and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  5. Once the meatballs are done, spoon them into the sauce and stir until evenly coated.
  6. Garnish with green onions and serve as an appetizer or over rice or greens as an entree. Enjoy!
