Buffalo What?!... Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Thank God it's finally Thursday.. that means lots of good TV (scandal, how to get away with murder, football) aka lets drink some wine and relax because Friday is almost here! 



To accompany all this good TV I made... buffalo chicken balls in pita pockets with sweet potato fries and ranch yogurt sauce. These came out so well, they might become a staple in our house from now on and honestly there not terribly bad for you especially compared to buffalo wings! 

This meal was also extremely quick & easy to make only 20-25 minutes .. cant complain about that at all when I get home close to 8!! 

What You'll Need 
(to make 14 chicken balls) 

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup of hot sauce 
  • 3/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • Whole Wheat Pita pockets ( I bought 100 calories ones) 
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup ranch
  • 1/2 tablespoon cilantro 

What To Do: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees 
  2. In a large bowl together, ground chicken, hot sauce, panko and egg. Incorporate everything but don't over mix. Season with salt and pepper. 
  3. Form 14 chicken balls and place on a cookie sheet and put in the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes (at the same time cook store bought sweet potato fries if desired.) 
  4. In a small bowl mix together greek yogurt, ranch, salt and pepper and cilantro
  5. Once the chicken balls are done coat with buffalo sauce and serve inside the pita pocket and ranch sauce on the side.
