My husband raved about these meatball bites! He is a huge stuffing fan, and I may or may not love the flavourful carbs as well. The best part about using stuffing mix is it means that you need fewer ingredients. The stuffing mix is already seasoned, so you don’t have to do much more than adding it to the chicken meatballs.
Like all meatballs, make them small for a delicious appetizer or serve with a few sides for a full meal. The options are endless with meatballs and that’s why I love them!
Why Canadian Chicken?
- Canadian chicken has no hormones.
- Comes from local farmers.
- What you put in, gets returned to your community.
- Canadian chicken farmers are audited and have guidelines to follow.
Look for the Raised by a Canadian Farmer logo. When you’re shopping, keep your eyes peeled for the logo seen above. That’s how you know that your chicken has been raised by a Canadian farmer. This contributes to our economy and gives peace of mind knowing that our chicken is regulated through auditable programming. If you don’t see this symbol, ask your store to get it in! We need our voices to be heard that Canadians want Canadian raised chicken.

TBK’s Pro Tip: I’ve made this recipe twice now, both times I used the same amount of stuffing. One batch was dry, one batch was perfect. Here’s my tip: add the ground up stuffing 1/2 cup at a time and see how it comes together. I have 1lb ground chicken in the recipe but at our grocery stores here it never equals exactly one pound, so that could be why.
