Ingredients

For the Meatballs
  • 1 lbs ground chicken extra lean
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp green onion diced
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
Additional Ingredients
  • 1 bottle sesame sauce P.F. Chang's brand
  • 2 tbsp green onion diced, for garnish
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 packet brown rice optional, for serving, cooked

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To prepare the meatballs, place the ground chicken, panko crumbs, egg, green onion, and soy sauce into a large mixing bowl. Using a meat grinder, mash until combined. Don’t over mix!
  2. Heat your skillet over medium heat and grease with cooking spray.
  3. Then, using a cookie scoop (mine is on the smaller side), scoop 16 meatballs onto the greased skillet and let them brown for 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally to get all sides cooked.
  4. Once your meatballs are browned, add the entire bottle of PF Chang’s Sesame Sauce to the skillet.
  5. Then, cover your skillet and let the meatballs simmer on low heat for 12-15 min until the sauce has thickened. The meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Once your meatballs are finished cooking, if you’re serving as an appetizer use tongs to move the meatballs to your serving plate and spear each with a toothpick. Top with additional sesame seeds and green onion. Add the sauce that remains in the pan to a bowl for spooning over the top. If you’re serving your meatballs as an entree, place them over a bed of brown rice and drizzle with the extra sauce!

Notes

  • Store the meatballs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. 
  • To make gluten free, swap the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos, panko for GF bread crumbs, and use your favorite gluten free teriyaki sauce. 
  • You can use turkey, beef, or pork in place of the chicken but keep it extra lean to avoid excess grease in your pan.
