Cheesy Keto Chicken Meatballs

If you have been around Meal Prep On Fleek for a while, then you know meatballs of all kinds rank as some of our favorite meal prep recipes. And by one of our favorites, we mean, we created The Ultimate Guide To Meatballs + 20 Recipes! Have you seen it? It includes everything from carrot meatballs to spaghetti squash skillet meatball casseroles. But as much as we love those, they don’t always meet the guidelines for a good keto meatball recipe. So, we did what we knew was best and created this Cheesy Keto Chicken Meatball Meal Prep recipe for you, because one thing we believe in is equality and everyone should be able to enjoy quality meatballs. Keto or not.

Cheesy Low Carb Chicken Meatballs

As is, these keto chicken meatballs come in at 25 grams of protein per serving! So when added to your favorite vegetable base, they really are the perfect keto meal prep recipe. We especially love making these in large batches (10-20 servings, depending on how many people in your household) and freezing them for future use. Simply move as many servings as you need from the freezer and into the refrigerator a day before intended use, or pop them directly into the microwave whenever you’re ready for them. Instant keto chicken meatballs! Want some ideas for how to enjoy these in a variety of ways? We’ve got you.

Cheesy Low Carb Chicken Meatballs

Of course, like most meal prep recipes here you can swap the ground chicken for turkey, beef or even pork. If you aren’t following a low carb diet you can easily pair the keto chicken meatballs with pasta, spaghetti squash or even brown rice. If you are vegetarian or vegan, swap the ground chicken for lentils or beans and use a vegan cheese! And like almost all recipes here, Cheesy Keto Chicken Meatballs are naturally gluten-free. You knew there was a reason why you stopped by- we have all the dietary bases covered for you!

Cheesy Keto Chicken Meatballs Ingredients:

1 lb. ground chicken 

2 tbsp. minced garlic 

½ tsp. Italian seasoning 

½ cup mozzarella cheese  

¼ cup no salt or sugar added marinara sauce + 4 tbsp. for topping 

salt to taste 

dried parsley for garnish

    Looks yummy, but you have inadvertently forgotten the "calories" per serving. Leaving me to reverse engineer the ingredients. Looking forward to more of your recipes With Calorie Count included.

      Hi Sharon,

      Thank you for your feedback. Since this recipe, we have actually started including the calorie count on our recipes. However, since we do not advocate focusing only on calories, but on the macros instead, we did not include them previously.

    I'm confused, 2 Tbsp of sauce reserved to go on top (doesn't seem like much) and then the whole 1/4 cup in the meatball mixture (it seems it should be the other way around)? Mine were very soft so I had to add some mozarella and almond flour to the meat mixture so I could shape them...
