I made these meatballs as directed (except for using regular cream cheese) and thought the Italian seasoning was a little strong and that the red pepper flakes were a little much. Next time I'd decrease both by at least half. I used an ice cream scoop to portion out my meatballs - I didn't fill it all the way so they came out a little wonky, but it kept my hands clean :)

These were SO GOOD! I only added one egg based on other reviews and I also added probably close to 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs (used panko). I had to season my own cream cheese with some herb/garlic seasoning as I only had plain light cream cheese. They were full of flavour, loved them...my middle son (6) found them a little spicy so wouldn't eat them, but my 8 year old enjoyed them! So, for any that might be feeding these to younger ones, maybe watch the red pepper flakes! Fantastic meatballs...I love them just the way they are!

Can you say YUMMY! These are so delicious. I served these with an Alfredo sauce, but no sauce is needed, really. I made extra and put some of the mix into the fridge and baked them up a few days later. It was much easier using the cold mixture, but it is still workable even sticky :-) Kids loved it, hubby loved it. This is a keeper. Oh, I found the red pepper flakes a tad too hot for our liking, but not overwhelmingly so. I think next time I'll just leave them out. I also don't use powdered garlic (hubby gets indigestion) but did use 3 cloves of fresh pressed garlic. Enjoy!

Very good but on the spicy side. Next time I would decrease the crushed pepper by 1/2. I used a small ice cream scoop to form the meatballs - very easy.

I was making sausage and looking for ideas. I saw this and decided the flavors could make an interesting chicken sausage. I ground up 6 chicken drumsticks and using all the ingredients except the eggs made about 10 hot dog sized sausages. They were excellent pan-fried. Great flavors. I will use this recipe again, maybe even tweak it for a ravioli filling. :)

I didn't know what to expect with this recipe but I'm so glad I tried it! The meatballs were different and delicious. They didn't form into balls as well as I wanted but the end result was fantastic. I served these on top of the brazilian white rice from this site and homemade cheese sauce. YUM!

This was my first time cooking with ground chicken. Overall we were pleased and it was all eaten. I couldn't find the garlic cream cheese so I subbed laughing cow garlic and herb cheese. I also used one egg and cut the red pepper flakes in 1/2 since my 2yr old would be eating this with us. I used my cookie scoop to form the meatball and I had no problem with them holding together. It was a nice change of pace and I might make it again if I was to buy more ground chicken. I served with Brazilian White Rice and Alfredo for dipping sauce.

Unfortunately, I did not read any reviews before making these, so did not see the submitters suggestion in her review to use only one egg. I found using the two eggs as written made the mixture so moist it was impossible to form meatballs, so I had to add considerably more bread crumbs which ended up making them on the dry side. I left out the pepper flakes and used only half the garlic. We enjoyed the flavor and I would make these again using only one egg.
