Gluten Free Italian Meatballs. Our take on this traditional recipe. We find chicken to have a nice fat content that adds great flavor and natural juiciness as well as it keeps meatballs from drying out. They actually taste great with or without sauce! Meatballs get eaten right out from the pan or oven! So make extra, they make a great after school snack or lunch. You can even freeze leftovers for another meal.
