Historical Background of the Recipe

Amylu Chicken Meatballs come from the creative kitchen of Chef Amylu, who launched her poultry-based food line in 1994. Her mission was simple: offer flavorful, lean protein alternatives using clean ingredients. Today, Amylu products—including bold flavors like Teriyaki & Pineapple, Andouille, and Mediterranean—are widely available at stores like Costco.

While meatballs themselves trace their roots back to ancient Persia and evolved through dishes like Italian polpette and Swedish köttbullar, Amylu has brought them into the modern age with globally inspired profiles. For fans of fusion food, these meatballs echo similar creativity as seen in recipes like this Cajun Alfredo pasta.
