These low-fat meatballs taste fabulous on their own, but if you want to take things up a notch, serve with a dip of hot Velveeta cheese and salsa. You could also substitute ground white turkey for the chicken. —Katrina Lopes, Lyman, South Carolina

These were so much better than I expected. Ground chicken can be so dry and bland, but these were moist and flavorful. I served them for dinner but they would be great anytime!

I made these for the first time yesterday to serve at a party. They were a big hit and I will definately make them again.
