One Pan Ginger Chicken Meatballs with Peanut Sauce Directions
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, green onion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper. Use clean hands to mix and form into 16 golf ball sized meatballs.
- Place a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and add in peanut oil. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes total. When meatballs are done browning, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add in the orange juice, peanut butter, soy sauce and garlic, optional siracha and lime to the skillet. Whisk together until well combined. Add meatballs back in and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove lid and gently stir in the carrots, peas and red bell pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes uncovered. Serve with cauliflower rice, or with spiralized zucchini. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro. Make 4-6 servings.
