Instructions
Brown the Prepared Meatballs
If using the store bought cranberry jalapeño meatballs, add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and stir. Continue to cook and roll the meatballs around in the oil until they've turned golden brown and warmed through.
Prep the From-Scratch Meatballs
If you cannot find the store bought prepared meatballs and want to make them from scratch, you'll need to make the meatball mix. Add all the meatball ingredients from ground chicken through minced garlic to a large mixing bowl. Gently knead everything together with a fork until well combined.
Break off portions of meatball mix and roll into 1-inch meatballs.
Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs to the pan and cook. Turn the meatballs gently and brown on all sides. Continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F with an instant probe thermometer.
