SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN BALLS WITH BROWN RICE

Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls With Brown Rice image

The sauce is lovely poured over the rice. The balls seem quite soft when you are making them but they do firm up during the cooking. If you wish firmer chicken balls add more bread crumbs, but only a few. Make sure that you coat them well with crumbs so they turn golden when you are browning them. A green salad goes well with this dish.

Steps:

Mix all the Chicken Ball ingredients together except the 1/4 cup crumbs and Italian herbs.
Use your hands to evenly blend all the ingredients together.
Form 2" Balls, roll them in your hands to get them even and well formed (you should have 12 balls).
Mix the 1/4 cup of crumbs& Italian herb.
Coat each ball with the crumbs, place on a plate and put in the fridge while making the sauce and cooking the rice.
Put your Brown rice on to cook it make take 30 minutes depending of your cooking method.
Put all your sauce ingredients in a saucepan, stir well, bring to a boil and simmer apprx 20 minutes or until it has thickened slightly.
Brown the chicken balls in a lightly oiled skillet, roll them around so they get golden all over.
Pour the sauce over them cover and simmer for 15 minutes over medium-low heat, turn them once or twice.

I like the sauce over the rice.

The sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. It's not too sweet and it's not too sour.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in the fridge and this is a great way to use it up.

I love that this recipe uses brown rice instead of white rice. It's a healthier option and it tastes just as good.

I'm not a big fan of sweet and sour chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce is perfectly balanced and the chicken balls are crispy and juicy.
