These Pesto Chicken Meatballs are full of fresh flavor and incredibly easy to make. With lean ground chicken, fresh basil, and a hint of spice, they’re tender, protein-packed, and perfect for meal prep. Cooked in the air fryer for a quick, golden finish, they pair perfectly with pesto, marinara, or your favorite high-protein pasta. Simple, flavorful, and versatile—these meatballs make healthy eating anything but boring.

I’m a huge pasta fan, but not a fan of pork sausage, beef meatballs, or the heavy flour-based pastas.  This is exactly why I chose a more lean option with ground chicken, which can also be served with a pasta alternative.

This super easy recipe turns your basic chicken meal into a meal full of flavor.  With creamy goat cheese, fragrant basil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and drizzles of balsamic and honey, you will wonder why you didn’t try this before!
