Asian Chicken Meatballs

These Asian Chicken Meatballs from Hayley Lucero (@realfoodwithaltitude) are here to help you satisfy those flavor cravings!

INGREDIENTS

Meatballs

• 1 lb ground chicken (pork or beef work too)
• 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large green onion, chopped
• 1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp coconut aminos
• salt and pepper

Dipping Sauce

• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 1 Tbsp rice wine
• 1/2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 Tbsp green onion, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
• 1/2 lime juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix gently until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to mix too much because it can make the meatballs dry.
2. Spray bottom of the air fryer, because they do stick. Use a small scoop, melon baller, or meat baller to make 1 inch diameter meatballs - 1 lb meat typically makes about 20 meatballs.
3. Place meatballs in an air fryer with about an inch in between each (may have to do a couple of rounds depending on the size of your air fryer).
4. Cook on 375 for about 10 minutes, making sure to flip half-way through.
5. While meatballs are cooking, combine all ingredients for dipping sauce and mix together.
6. Serve with cauliflower rice, stir-fried veggies or alone as an appetizer!
