I made the Italian version of my regular chicken meatballs.

Use any combination of ground chicken thigh and breast, or stick with one cut of meat.
Your meat patties will end up juicier if you just use thigh meat. If you just use breast meat, it'll turn out simple but a little tougher.
My family likes these with a higher ratio of thigh meat. Recipe by Mayu dish
