Once you try these, you'll never go back to beef
meatballs.(Well, maybe YOU will!) I searched all over the Internet for chicken
meatballs, and found these on eatchicken.com. The texture is much lighter than regular
meatballs, and they are downright tasty! Haven't used beef for spaghetti since,
and I found this over 2 years ago. The recipe also came with a sauce, but I
figured that everyone has their own favorite marinara sauce already. Enjoy!
