Ok y’all. Seriously. These Cajun meatballs with a spicy cream sauce. So delicious. These are made with chicken, so you’ll use some ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Cajun holy trinity and spices. Make them into balls and bake. While you’re at it, make this spicy cream sauce with heavy cream, parmesan, Rotel tomatoes and hot sauce. These are so delicious…Allen rated them a 10!
This recipe is our new favorite. Allen loved it so much. I know something must be really good, if he rates it high, because he can definitely be a critic! I appreciate it though…
But yeah…this was really good. I know you could be a little “eh” about a chicken meatball, but these are packed with tons of flavor and came out super juicy. The cream sauce is essential, too, so don’t leave it out! We served it over mashed potatoes. Yum! Perfect dinner.
Equipment You’ll Need
For this recipe, you’re going to need a bowl to mix your meatballs up in. Then, you’ll need a baking sheet to bake them on. I made my sauce in my Staub braiser. It’s my favorite and I use it for everything.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Ground Chicken:
You’ll need one-pound of ground chicken.
Breadcrumbs:
I used a cup of Italian breadcrumbs.
Peppers, Celery and Onions:
You’ll need a red pepper, a stalk of celery, a quart of an onion and some green onions.
Parmesan Cheese:
You’ll need about two cups of parmesan cheese. This will go in the meatballs and the sauce.
Seasonings and Hot Sauce:
You’ll need hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, Cajun seasonings, and garlic powder.
Heavy Cream:
You’ll need a cup and a half of heavy cream.
Rotel Tomatoes:
I used a drained can of Rotel tomatoes for your sauce.
How to Make These Cajun Meatballs with a Spicy Cream Sauce
Step One:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Add all of your ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well. I typically will use my hands.
Step two:
Use a cookie scoop or a teaspoon to make each meatball. Roll up balls and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for around 30 minutes or until internal temperature is over 175 degrees.
Step three:
For the cream sauce, melt butter in a large skillet. Once melted, sift in flour and stir. A paste will form then add in your heavy cream. Stir well and add in your parmesan cheese and seasonings.
Step four:
Add your meatballs back to your skillet. Remove from heat. Serve and enjoy!
