Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs
Description
These Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs are prepared by mixing ground chicken with panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. The mixture is shaped into uniform balls and baked at 400°F until cooked through with a browned exterior. This baking method keeps the meatballs tender without frying.
The accompanying sauce blends low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, fresh ginger, and garlic, thickened with cornstarch to a glossy consistency. Once the meatballs finish baking, they are stirred into the warm sauce, allowing them to be evenly coated and infused with flavor.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. These meatballs pair well with steamed rice, making for a hearty, well-rounded meal.
Ingredients
For the meatballs:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten, large
- 2 green onion sliced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the sauce:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 2 teaspoons ginger peeled and grated fresh
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For serving:
- sesame seeds
- green onion sliced
- rice optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko, egg, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop and roll the mixture into 2-tablespoon balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You can wear gloves or lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Check early so you don’t overcook and dry out the meatballs. Remove from the oven.
- While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, fresh ginger, garlic, and cornstarch.
- Pour the sauce in a large skillet. Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and add the warm meatballs. Stir until meatballs are well coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with rice, if desired.
