Chicken meatballs with sweet and sour sauce
Chicken meatballs with sweet and sour sauce is a dish made with seasoned ground chicken formed into meatballs and cooked until golden brown. The sweet and sour sauce is a flavorful combination of sweet and tangy flavors, typically made with ingredients like vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and various seasonings. When combined, the savory meatballs and the zesty sauce create a perfect balance of flavors.
Ingredients
For the Chicken Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking
For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the sweet and sour sauce over the top.
