These BBQ Bacon Chicken Meatballs are a simple and delicious meatball recipe to add into your weeknight meal plan!

This is one of my favorite kinds of recipes because it came from me wanting to make something delicious with what I had in the fridge.  And if I put BBQ sauce on it, Ruth will usually eat it!  So these BBQ Bacon Chicken Meatballs were born. Like all of my fave meatballs they are whole30 compliant as long as you use the right ingredients.  For BBQ Sauce, my fave is primal kitchen!  If you aren’t don’t care about a little added sugar in your BBQ Sauce, I love Stubbs because it has simple ingredients and is pretty low in sugar compared to most out there.  I also have a recipe on this site for a Paleo BBQ sauce that is delish if you want to try making your own!  I serve these with whatever roasted veggies I have, or on a salad, but they really go with anything.  These also freeze well and would be great to make ahead.  It’s a total goal of mine to take a day or two to prep a ton of stuff and stock my freezer for those days when I just don’t feel like cooking, which happen a lot with a toddler by 5PM!

    Super yummy! I made mine in the air fryer in 8 minutes. I also added a little bit of grated carrots to sneak in some veggies and you would never know it. Thank you!! I’ll add it to my weekly list! Great meal prep too- I’m going to freeze half of them.

    These are a staple in our house- everyone loves them from my three very picky teenagers to my husband and I. I love to meal prep them and have them in the freezer for a quick weeknight meal. This along with a salad and we are good to go!
