Chicken Pesto Meatballs
These tender, pesto-stuffed meatballs get gobbled up in our house. They're short on ingredients, but packed with flavor. I always make a double batch, freezing the other half for a busy night. —Ally Billhorn, Wilton, Iowa

Delicious and they came together so quickly. Loved the flavor..my new favorite meatballs for pasta.
Delicious meatballs! We are using more chicken than beef lately - healthier and less expensive. They also freeze well. Husband approved!
Delicious! Quick, easy recipe with pantry ingredients. Meatballs are tender and flavorful! I had a pound of ground chicken in my freezer and was looking for a recipe to make with what I had in my pantry during the "stay at home" quarantine. This will be now be a regular at my house.
Just love a recipe with a chicken option! Love the Pesto too. Easy and flavorful. Just sauteed a bit of fresh garlic and onion added into meatballs cause I love it! Thumbs up! Thanks for the easy recipe
