Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground chicken

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 large egg

3 cloves garlic minced

1/4 cup onion finely grated

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

1/3 cup honey

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tbsp water

1 tsp cornstarch

sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated onion, salt, and pepper until just combined.

2. Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 tablespoon each, keeping them uniform in size.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add meatballs without overcrowding.

4. Sear meatballs for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown, then cover and cook 5–6 minutes until cooked through.

5. Remove meatballs and set aside, then in the same skillet combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and water.

6. Simmer sauce over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until it starts to thicken, then stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy.

7. Return meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sticky sauce, simmering for 1–2 minutes.

8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
