TO MAKE THE MEATBALLS:
* 1 lb. Ground Chicken, 92% Lean * 1/4 Small Yellow Onion, chopped (1/3 cup) * 3 Garlic Cloves, minced * 1 cup Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs * 1 Egg, whisked * 2 tbsp. Heavy Cream * 1/2 tsp. Salt * 1/4 tsp. Black Pepper * 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire * Fresh Cilantro, optional for garnish
SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE:
* 1 tbsp. Olive OIl * 2 Garlic Cloves, minced * 1/3 cup Brown Sugar * 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice * 2 tsp. Yellow Mustard * 1/2 – 3/4 cup BBQ Sauce, depending on flavor preference * 2 tsp. Soy Sauce
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together in a large bowl. Form into 10 dinner size meatballs and set on the baking sheet making sure they have a little space in-between. 3. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 165F. 4. While the meatballs are baking, go ahead and add olive oil to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot go ahead and saute the garlic for 1 – 2 minutes. 5. Whisk in the brown sugar, pineapple juice, mustard, bbq sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a low boil, whisk again, and turn off the heat. 6. Once the meatballs are ready, set them in a shallow dish or bowl and drizzle over the sweet and sour sauce. Mix together until coated and serve immediately. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if desired.
