Sustainability was also a reason to create new options. “With the veggie ball we wanted to offer something as appreciated as the classic meatball, but plant-based and with less environmental impact,” explains David. Next came the salmon and cod ball. It contains pieces of salmon that are too small to be used as whole fillets. “And since it’s very tasty meat, we thought, why not make delicious fish balls of it instead?” says David.

Product details
Serve the chicken meatballs as classic Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, cream sauce and lingonberry jam – or try them with pasta, vegetables or dishes inspired by Asian cuisine.
Chicken meatballs should taste like chicken. That’s why we’ve seasoned the chicken meat gently, allowing its natural, juicy flavour to stand out. Still, its taste is not unlike the beef and pork meatball.
Easily prepared from frozen in minutes. In the oven, in the microwave or on the stove.
Easily portioned. Prepare the amount needed, leave the rest in the freezer.
Just as tasty warm as they are cold, e.g. halved as a sandwich topping.

Gluten-freeAnonymous reviewerLove the fact I can have the gluten-free chicken meatballs after all these years missing out on the meatballs as I've gone gluten-free. Its a shame I can't have them in the restaurant.
Chicken meatballsAnonymous reviewerVery nice and tasty
Gluten free!Anonymous reviewerYou're always running the gauntlet looking for things that are gluten free. IKEA meatballs aren't gluten free and even in the restaurant the chicken meatballs aren't gluten free due to possible cross contamination. However, in the frozen section chicken meatballs are (at the time of writing) gluten free.

They're okayAnonymous reviewerIn general I typically prefer chicken meat over beef, but with these meatballs I much prefer the original beef ones over these chicken ones
MeatballsAnonymous reviewerI do not eat pork and find this absolutely wonderful to substitute with. But it comes at a price which they’ll obviously push to cost of living crisis.It’s such a shame so many people like me won’t be having this easily. Please look into it and I’ll be very happy.
Very versatile can adapt to any mealAnonymous reviewerWould buy again and recommend this to everyone

Story
A buffet of good
Today’s recipe for the classic IKEA meatball rolled out from our test kitchen already in 1985. Since then, the IKEA meatball has become an icon on plates around the world and a proud example of traditional Swedish cooking. But, when we asked customers on three different continents what food they prefer, we realised we had to extend our meatball family with tasty alternatives.
“Not everyone eats beef or pork, so we went into the kitchen to create new recipes,” says David Johansson, chef and product developer at IKEA Food Services. First came the chicken ball – an alternative for those who like meat, but not necessarily red meat. “Like all our meatballs it’s just as good hot as cold, and we’ve seasoned it gently so it fits different cuisines and local flavours.”
New flavours in a classic shape
Recreating the meatball without meat
The newest edition to the family is the plant ball. It’s made with pea protein, potatoes, apple, oats and onion, but has the great taste and juicy bite of a meatball – making it perfect for everyone who wants to cut down on meat without losing out on the experience. "A lot has happened since 1985. Now, there are eatable IKEA icons for more of the many people. No matter if you’re flexitarian, vegan, meat lover, have dietary needs or cultural preferences.”
Form design process
Chicken meatballs for the taste and the climate
Not a classic meatball and not vegetarian – but something new and unique. If you want to eat less red meat to reduce your climate footprint, but still want a meat taste, HUVUDROLL chicken meatballs are a good choice. We have gently seasoned them to preserve the natural, juicy chicken flavour and made them easy to prepare from frozen. Serve classically with mashed potatoes, cream sauce and lingonberry jam – or with pasta, vegetables or Asian dishes.
