Ingredients
Scale
For the Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (can sub for regular)
- ⅓ cup diced green onion
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- ⅓ cup low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Scoop the mixture using a small cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, then roll into balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet, making about 25 meatballs, depending on their size. Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the meatballs are baking, whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set it aside. Once the meatballs are ready, transfer them to a large skillet and heat over medium.
- Pour the sauce over the meatballs and let it simmer, stirring often to coat them, until it thickens. Once thickened, serve the meatballs over rice and broccoli, adding red pepper flakes for a bit of spice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to use low-sodium tamari or soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
- You can customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes added at the end.
