GROUND CHICKEN MEATBALLS
This recipe came from Busy Cooks, I found it on about.com and wanted to share it with my RecipeZaar family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. I was looking for a healthy alternative for meatballs, a word of caution-make sure you are getting ground chicken breast as opposed to ground chicken, there is a HUGE difference.
