Sesame-Ginger Chicken Meatballs

These super quick, juicy little Asian-inspired meatballs are great wrapped in lettuce cups or served with steamed rice.

Ingredients:

– Canola oil, for brushing

– 1 lb ground chicken, preferably dark meat

– ¹⁄₂ cup plain dry bread crumbs

– ¹⁄₃ cup minced scallions, plus thinly sliced scallions for garnish

– 3 Tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger

– 1 large egg

– 2 garlic cloves, minced

– 2 tsp toasted sesame oil

– 2 tsp soy sauce

– ¹⁄₄ tsp kosher salt

– Asian chile sauce, for serving 

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450° and brush a rimmed baking sheet with canola oil. In a large bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients except the chile sauce. Form the mixture into 1 1/2 -inch balls and arrange on the baking sheet. Brush the meatballs with canola oil and bake for about 13 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the meatballs to a platter and serve with Asian chile sauce.
