I found another great recipe from Noble Pig blog (www.noblepig.com) for my 2nd recipe that I making for the couples wedding shower. I thought having a healthy meat option would be good for the party. I'm debating on getting some type of heating place/crock pot for the party so these stay warm. I haven't made chicken meatballs before, but they were really good!! They were a little mushy to work with, so forming balls was a bit of an adventure :) For the party I'll make smaller balls (he he he... sorry, I am SO immature) for the party and I'll double the sauce so they stay moist.
