Asian Chicken Meatballs image

I had a craving for a very moist, chicken meatball one day. I love Asian flavors. This is the result. This has become one of our standard meals. We usually serve with a vegetable stir-fry and rice. Don't be scared off by the large amounts of garlic and ginger, it cooks into a mellow yet flavorful blend of seasonings.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lbs ground chicken breast (raw)
1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
5 cloves garlic
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
6 -8 green onions, peeled
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons wheat-free tamari soy sauce or 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock or 1/4 cup chicken broth
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop ginger, garlic and green onions.
  • Place in bowl of food processor.
  • Add water chestnuts to food processor.
  • Grind until a thick paste forms.
  • There will still be some small pieces of water chestnut.
  • Remove paste, place in mixing bowl.
  • Add sesame oil, soy sauce, broth and egg to water chestnut paste.
  • Add chicken.
  • Combine all ingredients until well blended.
  • Heat large skillet, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan (to help prevent sticking).
  • Using hands, or a small scoop, form a ball of meat about the size of a golf ball, place in the hot skillet.
  • The meat mixture is very wet and loose, it will not hold it's shape well, so keep the balls small or they will flatten as they cook.
  • Saute meatballs about 2 minutes or until browned on bottom, turn gently to an uncooked side, and continue cooking.
  • Keep turning the meatballs as they cook, so that all sides are browned evenly.
  • Cut a meatball open to test for doneness by verifying that it is cooked through to the center.
  • Remove cooked meatballs and keep warm until all are done.
  • Serve plain, or with your favorite dipping sauce.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would try using a different type of meat next time.

These meatballs were amazing! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still delicious. The sauce was so good that I used it as a dipping sauce for the meatballs.
