Bring a true taste of Italy to your counter with these flavour-packed Pesto Chicken Meatballs. They combine tender chicken with bold pesto and creamy cheese, creating a dish that looks as good as it tastes. This product helps butchers offer customers an easy, ready-to-cook meal that feels homemade yet premium.

Each meatball is coated in Verstegen World Grill Pesto, adding a rich green shine and deep basil flavour. The Verstegen Italian Herb and Tomato Sauce beneath them enhances the taste with a balance of sweetness and gentle acidity. Together, they create a vibrant base that keeps the meatballs moist and full of flavour.

Between each meatball, slices of mozzarella melt beautifully during cooking. The result is a soft, creamy layer that pairs perfectly with the tangy tomato sauce. Additionally, a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan and bright cherry vine tomatoes adds both colour and freshness.

These meatballs are quick to assemble and easy to display, making them ideal for busy butcher counters. Customers can take them home and cook them in minutes, enjoying a meal that feels both simple and indulgent. Moreover, the colourful presentation and aromatic ingredients naturally draw attention, helping increase sales and repeat purchases.
