What Makes This Recipe So Good
I’m pretty sure meatballs and poppers are the best thing to ever happen to a Whole30. I don’t care what day I’m on, how over a round I am, how sick of savory food I’ve already gotten, chicken poppers always sound good. And they usually make a veritable ton, meaning easy leftovers I actually look forward to, instead of dread, the next day. And if poppers are the best thing to ever happen to a Whole30, bacon and ranch are the food soulmates without a doubt. I can’t think of a single instance where one is not bolstered by the other. I challenge you to find one! So these Whole30 chicken bacon ranch poppers were a whole mess of matches made in heaven: tender bites of chicken loaded with veggies, fresh garlic and herbs, and plenty of Whole30-compliant bacon. Dipped in my favorite Whole30 dump ranch, I just can’t get enough of these little flavor bombs. The best thing about these Whole30 chicken bacon ranch poppers is that my child loves them. Sure, we have to call them chicken nuggets, but I don’t care. He loves them! They’re healthy! He eats them! It’s a toddler miracle. I might have to put them on exactly the right plate and give him exactly the right fork, but that’s to be expected. The focus here, y’all? These Whole30 chicken bacon ranch poppers are totally family friendly. And if you have a food processor, these Whole30 chicken bacon ranch poppers come together super easily. I actually chop most of my ingredients in the food processor: the garlic first, because you want it to be super minced; then the parsley to get a nice mince without blitzing it to paste. I stir all of that into the chicken mixture, then fit my food processor with the shredding blade to make grating the zucchini super easy. Mush it all together in a large mixing bowl with your hands, use a meatball-sized scooper («< click there to order my favorite), and fry them up. Serve family-style with plenty of ranch for dipping and a quick side of garlicky kale, and you’re set with a healthy dinner the entire family will devour. These Whole30 chicken bacon ranch poppers are such a perfect addition to your Whole30 meal plan, and I know you’ll love them just as much as we do. Plus, that all-important bonus… leftovers you’ll actually dig. A great idea for weekly meal prep, too. Just make sure you have plenty of my Whole30 dump ranch on hand for generous dipping!
