Notes

These creamy skillet chicken meatballs are versatile and can be the centerpiece of various dishes. Consider serving them over a bed of steamed rice, buttered noodles, or alongside green beans. If you’re looking to add a tangy twist, squeeze in a bit of lemon juice or zest into the creamy sauce. And remember, the key to juicy meatballs is not to overwork the mixture, so mix just until everything is combined. Enjoy your hearty and delicious meal!
