These Baked Sweet Chilli Chicken Balls make a great meal or snack for the whole family!
This Baked Sweet Chilli Chicken Balls recipe is a variation of my popular Baked Chicken, Zucchini and Cheese Balls recipe. In this version, I’ve cut down on the amount of cheese, added some extra vegetables and added a good splash of sweet chilli sauce to help gives these yummy little morsels an extra kick.
The result is tasty chicken meatballs which can be enjoyed as a snack, are great for lunchboxes (just pop them into a thermos) and also make an easy family meal when served alongside some extra veggies, rice or even homemade chips.
Tips for Making these Baked Sweet Chilli Chicken Balls
- When putting this recipe together using a Thermomix, you can use a chicken breast instead of chicken mince. Simply cut the chicken into 4cm pieces and mix on speed 5 for 10 seconds, or until minced.
- You can add extra sweet chilli sauce to this recipe if you would like more of a ‘kick’. Alternatively if you are making this recipe for young children, you can also reduce the amount of sweet chilli sauce that is used.
- To serve, add some steamed veggies and rice or you can enjoy with a salad.
- These Chicken Balls are also a great finger food for your next party.
- This recipe is freezer friendly.
