Orange Chicken Meatballs Recipe 445

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit. Line a standard size baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and Panko breadcrumbs. Allow to soak for 5 minutes. Add the chicken, egg, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix together just until combined (overworking it will cause the meatballs to be dense). Shape into meatballs and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until cooked throughout (internal temperature of 165). Meanwhile, in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the chicken broth, orange juice, orange zest, sugar or honey, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a low simmer. In a small bowl whisk together the cold water and cornstarch, add to the saucepan. Whisk until combined, continue cooking for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens (I usually let mine go for about 8 minutes). Place the meatballs in a large bowl and cover with sauce. Toss to coat, serve hot.

Steps:

• Meatballs: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, panko breadcrumbs, minced onion, ginger paste, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix ingredients until well-combined.
• Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray or use parchment paper to keep the meatballs from sticking. Then, roll the mixture into 16 small meatballs and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, turning once halfway through.
• While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce.
• Sauce: In a medium size skillet, heat 1 tsp sesame oil. Add ½ cup sliced red bell pepper and cook until the peppers begin to soften.
• Add rice wine vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and red pepper flakes.Then, simmer sauce for 5 minutes.
• Mix cornstarch with water and slowly add mixture to the sauce, continuing to cook until sauce thickens. Then, remove sauce from heat.
• Coat each meatball in the sauce.
• Serve over rice or with the vegetable of choice and garnish with green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
