Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup buffalo sauce + extra for drizzling

1 large egg

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole wheat sandwich rolls

2 cups shredded celery (from about 2-3 stalks)

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

      Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

        Bake the Meatballs: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown. For extra flavor, toss the cooked meatballs in an additional drizzle of buffalo sauce.

          Make the Celery Slaw: While the meatballs are baking, prepare the slaw. In a medium bowl, combine shredded celery, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Split the whole wheat sandwich rolls and toast them lightly if desired. Place 2-3 buffalo chicken meatballs on each roll and top generously with the celery slaw.

              Garnish and Serve: Drizzle a bit more buffalo sauce on top, sprinkle with chopped parsley for color, and serve immediately with your favorite side.
