Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs (Print)

Juicy chicken meatballs in a homemade teriyaki glaze - a perfect blend of sweet and savory Asian-inspired flavors.

# Ingredients:

→ Meatballs

01 - 1 pound ground chicken
02 - ½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
03 - ⅓ cup diced green onion
04 - 1 egg
05 - 1 tsp minced garlic
06 - 1 tsp salt
07 - ¼ tsp black pepper

→ Teriyaki Sauce

08 - ⅓ cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce
09 - ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
10 - ¼ cup honey
11 - 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
12 - 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
13 - 2 tsp minced garlic
14 - 2 tsp cornstarch
15 - 2 Tbsp rice vinegar

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, green onion, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
03 - Scoop the mixture using a small cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, then roll into balls. Arrange approximately 25 meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes until cooked through.
04 - While the meatballs are baking, whisk all sauce ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
05 - Transfer the baked meatballs to a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and simmer, stirring frequently to coat them evenly, until the sauce thickens to a glossy glaze.
06 - Serve the glazed meatballs over rice and steamed broccoli. Optionally garnish with red pepper flakes for added heat.

# Notes:

01 - These meatballs are excellent for meal prep and will keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
02 - For a more authentic flavor, use low sodium tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
