Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat Panko* breadcrumbs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 large eggs
• 4 Tbsp. grated onion (about 1 small)
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
• 2 Tbsp. sour cream
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. black pepper
• ¾ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• ½ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 2 Tbsp. green onions, sliced
• 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

Directions

• Add breadcrumbs to a large bowl. Pour milk over the breadcrumbs and let stand for 5 minutes or until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.
• Add chicken, eggs, onion, cilantro, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Combine the mixture using your hands. It will be wet and sticky. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling. It will be easier to work with.
• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the mixture into 1½ inch balls and set on the prepared baking sheet. I used 1 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the mixture.
• Set the oven rack about 9 inches from the heat source and broil the meatballs for 3-4 minutes on HIGH without flipping. The tops will be slightly (barely) golden and the inside raw. Remove and set aside while preparing the sauce.
• In a dutch oven or large skillet, combine all the sauce ingredients, except for the green onions and sesame seeds. Bring the mixture to a slow simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the sugar dissolves.
• Stir in the meatballs and cook until the meatballs are completely cooked through, about 7-9 minutes.
• To serve, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
