Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3/4 cup almond flour plus more if needed
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 egg
- pinch black pepper
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup Whole30 buffalo sauce
- green onions optional
- Whole30 ranch optional
- celery optional
Instructions
- First, add ground chicken, almond flour, minced garlic, egg, pepper and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Brush a little olive oil or coconut oil on your hands to prevent sticking.
- Use your hands to combine the mixture.
- Once combined, form 1 to 1.5 inch meatballs. Place meatballs on a plate and continue until meat mixture is used up.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Gently place meatballs in skillet in one even layer. Do not stack.
- Then, cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, flipping several times until fully cooked through.
- When meatballs are cooked through, add buffalo sauce to the skillet. Use spatula to spread around buffalo sauce until meatballs are covered.
- Next, remove from heat. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve with Whole30 ranch and celery if desired.
Notes
- Brush olive oil on hands to prevent sticking. This makes forming the meatballs much easier.
- Form meatballs into 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Try to make meatballs the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Chicken is done cooking when it has reached an internal temperature of at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- There are several great Whole30 buffalo sauce options. My favorites are Primal Kitchen Foods or The New Primal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, add meatballs to a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. Heat on low until warmed through.
