I’m not sure you know this about me but I adore meatballs.  Mmm, those hearty bites of protein - LOVE them.💕  2 years ago I did a month of meatball posts during March and called it March Meatball Madness.  Get it – they’re round like a basketball???🏀  Clever – right!??😁

Yes – it was madness in the best way possible.  It was so much fun and I do believe I perfected the art of a tender, juicy, flavorful meatball.  Not to toot my own horn but you know what they say… practice makes perfect.  And I got A LOT of practice.👌

You know who else makes perfect meatballs?  My favorite chicken sausage brand on the planet – al fresco!💯  Not kidding people.  I have a massive crush on all their products.💚  They taste amazing and since they’re pre-cooked they’re ready in just a few minutes.

Recently, I was at the grocery store deciding which flavor chicken sausage I was going to use for dinner and there they were… Teriyaki Ginger Chicken Meatballs, all cute and pre-cooked and calling my name.  Into my basket they went and now I’m all kinds of crazy about them.  They.  Are.  Amazing.

Tender, juicy, flavorful and ready in 5-7 minutes.  Shut the oven door.  No seriously, do it 'cause these babies are going on the grill.  Hello.🙌

Summertime grillin’ and chillin'.

I think it’s safe to say we all are looking for ways to create good-for-us, easy, meals that taste fabulous.  Amiright?

No need to keep mining for diamonds ‘cause your search is over -  al fresco to the rescue!✨  They make so many delicious pre-cooked chicken sausages, meatballs, and even bacon.  You can literally replace their pre-cooked products for the chicken in any recipe to make every meal quick, easy and even more delicious.  Seriously, it’s chicken, only better.👍

Like these Teriyaki Ginger Meatballs.  I used them instead of cutting up and marinating chicken breasts for my Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs.  It was so much easier - no raw chicken to contend with and they only required 7 minutes on the grill.

All you need is some veggies, a yummy Teriyaki sauce, and these meatballs.👇

First things first, I mix up my sauce in a pan on the stove.  Heat some olive oil and cook the minced garlic for a minute.  Then add the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, pineapple juice, lime juice, ginger spice, onion powder, pepper, cornstarch and a pinch of cayenne.  Whisk it together for a few minutes then remove it from the heat.

Now preheat the grill and cut up a red and green pepper, red onion and fresh pineapple into 1-inch pieces and start skewering.

Then brush the kabobs with the Teriyaki sauce and spritz them with some grill spray.  Grill them on high for 3 ½ minutes on the top and bottom sides.

And that’s it - Teriyaki Chicken Meatball Kabobs, another easy chicken recipe for entertaining with al fresco all natural.👏

Easy-peasy and super yummy.

Trust me – once you try them you’ll be serving up these Teriyaki Meatball Kabobs all summer long.☀️  And when summer's over you'll want to try these French onion chicken meatballs next!
