Ingredients

For the Meatballs:
  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
  • 2 egg beaten, large
  • 2 tbsp. parsley minced, fresh flat-leaf
  • 1 tsp. garlic minced
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper ground
For the Barbeque Sauce:
  • 1 (8 oz.) tomato sauce canned

  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the meatballs. In a large bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients and lightly mix together with your hands. Do not over-mix as this will produce tough meatballs.
  3. Use your hands to roll out 12-14 golf ball sized meatballs and spread them out on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
  4. In the meantime, prepare the barbeque sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until well combined. Transfer the sauce to a large sauce pot. Turn the heat to medium-high and let cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will begin to thicken.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and gently stir to coat the meatballs. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
