on Aug 27, 2024 I bet you haven’t heard of Chicken Porcupine Meatballs but that’s about to change right now! These spike-y looking things are probably the most fun kid-friendly recipe on the blog right now. We coat the meatballs in some raw basmati rice before steaming them. On cooking, the rice starts to stick out of the meatballs and starts to resemble a porcupine. Pretty cool, right!?
Chicken Porcupine Meatballs Ingredients
Chicken – We just need boneless chicken for this recipe, both breast and thigh cut work here. You could also use chicken mince instead. Veggies – Is it really one of my kid-friendly recipes if I’m not sneaking veggies in! I’ve added chopped zucchini, carrots, and onions but go crazy here. This is completely up to you to customize. Herbs and Seasonings – From coriander leaves to italian seasoning to a little bit of lemon juice, there’s a lot going on here. Feel free to add whatever additional herbs and spices you like here.

Chicken Porcupine Meatballs Serving Ideas
I like to serve these on their own with my Homemade Ketchup for the kids and Thai Sweet Chili Sauce for us adults when it’s time for a snack. But you can also add it to your favorite gravy – from Asian stir-fry gravies and coconut curries to sauces like this Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Sauce and Creamy Lemon Sauce if serving as a whole meal for the family. You can also serve these as the classic combo of Tomato Spaghetti and meatballs – this would make such a cute and filling tiffin lunch! The pairings are endless, really. You and your little ones are going to love these Chicken Porcupine Meatballs! I can’t wait to see all the cool recreations (and the tiffin boxes this recipe makes it to!).
