Instructions
1
Prepare Chicken Mixture
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and give it a quick spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, bread crumbs, egg, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
2
Shape Chicken Meatballs
To make shaping easier, spray your hands with a bit of cooking spray. Take a small handful of the chicken mixture and press it around a cube of feta cheese, forming a ball about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet and keep going until you’ve used up all the mixture and cheese.

Bake and Glaze Meatballs
Pop the meatballs in the oven and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through so they brown evenly. Once they’re cooked through, transfer them to a serving plate. Finish by drizzling more Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing over the top, then sprinkle with some chopped carrot, celery, and a little extra feta for a tasty touch.
