Moist, flavorful meatballs made from ground chicken and nestled among tender green pepper and onion strips.
This is the first stop on the ShopRite #NYCWFF Virtual Food Tour! All week long, different bloggers will be recreating recipes that will be featured at the New York City Wine and Food Festival Grand Tasting Presented by ShopRite.
Disclosure: I was provided with free products and a ShopRite Gift Card for my involvement in our #NYCWFF Food Blogger Tour, however all opinions expressed are my own.
Believe it or not, I have never made my own meatballs (I know, shocking, right?). So I was really excited when I saw that the recipe chosen for me to recreate involved meatballs!
And I was even more excited when I read through the directions and they really seemed easy - definitely something I could handle.
As you know if you have perused through any of my posts before, I am all about easy when it comes to dinner preparation. The only remaining question was whether or not we would like it!
Well, I have to tell you, this recipe is super-tasty. If you are worried about the meatballs being a little bland because they are made from ground chicken, do not give it another thought!
This entire dish is very flavorful and a perfect fall or winter comfort dinner. And if you love easy meatball dishes, you should also try this super tasty Slow Cooker Hawaiian Meatball recipe!
This dish will be one of the featured dishes at the New York City Wine and Food Festival Grand Tasting, presented by ShopRite, but if you can't make it to the festival, you can just make it yourself at home.
The ingredients are easy to find and the technique is easy to follow. Now, I will admit that my meatballs were not perfect spheres, but in the end they tasted great, so no one cared that the were a little more like parallelograms.
(Does that mean I need to change the recipe title to Chicken Cacciatore Meatparallelograms?) 🙂
And if you're looking for an airfryer meatball recipe, you've got to try these Air Fryer Turkey Meatballs or Air Fryer Chicken Meatballs!
Or try these Keto Pumpkin Meatballs for a unique and delicious meatball experience.

I can't wait to try these, myself, and how cool is that these are going to be featured at the New York City Wine and Food Festival Grand Tasting - of course, I think it's even cooler they're featured this week at Throwback Thursday, lol!!! Seriously, what a great makeover of a tired old classic!

This is awfully clever. I love chicken cacciatore but I love the cleverness and concise form of making it a meatball dish! I can only imagine how good this is, until I make it of course!
