Chicken and Zucchini Meatballs

Chicken and Zucchini Meatballs

Chicken and Zucchini Meatballs make a simple and healthy dinner that is easy to make for busy weeknights.

Chicken and fresh zucchini is such a great healthy combination. All the ingredients in these meatballs combine for a delicious, mouthwatering main dish. Not only the zucchini adds tons of color, but also adds much-needed moisture that ground chicken often lacks, helping to make the meatballs tender and juicy.

By the end of summer anyone with a garden has more zucchini than they know what to do with. This easy and delicious recipe is one of the best ways to use up extra zucchini.

Zucchini preparation tips (don’t ignore this step):

  • The zucchini should be finely shredded. This will make it easier to pack and keep the meatballs together.
  • The liquid of the zucchini needs to be squeezed out as much as possible: place zucchini in a bowl. Sprinkle grated zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt and let stand for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Discard drained liquid.
