Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients
For the Chicken Meatballs
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ¼ cup crushed pineapple drained (reserve the juice)
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions
- 2 garlic cloves
For the Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp fresh ginger
- ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Turn oven on to 500°C. Use cooking spray to spray a 9×13 baking-dish or cookie sheet. Or, line it with parchment paper. Mix all ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl.
- Make meatballs about the same size as a golf ball and place them in a baking dish or on a cookie sheet. There should be about 21 meatballs. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. The meatball should be cooked to 165°.
- While the meatballs cook, prepare the sauce. Combine soy sauce and brown sugar with water, pineapple juice, ginger and garlic in a large skillet or saucepan.
- Mix together on medium-heat till sugar is dissolved. Add the cornstarch, water and stir to make the teriyaki sauce and stir together. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes or till it thickens.
- Once the meatballs have been cooked, add them to the teriyaki sauce and mix well so that all meatballs are coated. Let simmer for a while before serving over rice.
