Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs
Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs combine ground chicken with panko, egg, and seasonings, baked to tender, browned perfection. These meatballs are coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce made from soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. The sauce thickens as it simmers, glazing the meatballs and adding a balanced sweet-savory flavor. Garnishing with sesame seeds and green onions complements the dish, which can be served with rice.

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.
