Egg Roll Chicken Meatballs with Sweet Chili Sauce

lb Chicken Breast (Ground

Shredded Cabbage (140 grams)

Carrots (Chopped, 64 grams)

White Onion (Chopped, 40 grams)

Green Onion (Chopped, about 25 grams)

1½ Tbsp Minced Garlic (about 4-5 cloves)

Tbsp Minced Ginger (about 6 grams)

1½ Tbsp Coconut Aminos (or Low Sodium Soy Sauce)

Salt

½ tsp Black Pepper

Almond Flour (40 grams, see notes for sub)

Water

Rice Vinegar (or White Wine Vinegar)

tsp Chicken Broth

tsp Coconut Aminos (or Low Sodium Soy Sauce)

1½ tsp Crushed Red Chili Pepper Flakes

1½ tsp Minced Garlic (1-2 cloves)

tsp Minced Ginger

Stevia Sweetener (¼ cup sugar worth (Use your brand's Conversion Chart))

¼ tsp Xanthan Gum (see notes for sub)

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.

If using whole chicken breast, cut into large chunks and place in a food processor.

Pulse (do not process, use the pulse option, or the chicken will form mush) about 10-15 times until it turns into a ground chicken. Set aside.Work in batches if needed.

Place cabbage, carrots, white onion and green onion in food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

Prepare Chicken and Vegetables:

In a large bowl combine chicken, chopped vegetables, coconut aminos/soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper and, almond flour, and stir until uniform.

Spoon out a heaping 1-2 tablespoons worth of the mix, toss between hands to shape into meatballs (about 20) and transfer to baking sheet. Use clean hands!

Bake for 23 minutes.

Make Meatballs:

While meatballs cook, heat a small pot over medium and combine vinegar, water, broth, coconut aminos or soy sauce, chili flakes, garlic, ginger and stevia sweetener. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.

Add in xanthan gum, whisking until it starts to thicken. Set aside.

Sauce will thicken more when cooled. Add more water if too thin.

Cook Sauce:

Transfer meatballs to a serving dish, top with sauce and garnish with more cilantro.

Serve with your choice of side. Rice or Cauliflower Rice go well!

Serve:

I absolutely love this recipe! I tried it out once, then went shopping for more ground chicken that same week to make two more batches. It's great that so many veggies sneak their way into a savory chicken dish. It actually tastes like an egg roll!
