Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Cooked rice and steamed vegetables, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, soy sauce, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Using your hands, form the chicken mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the meatballs in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer, stirring for 2-3 minutes. If desired, add cornstarch mixed with a bit of water to thicken the sauce. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked meatballs and let simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to blend flavors.
Notes
- Serve over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles, accompanied by steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions for added flavor.
- Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For freezing, place meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
