Ingredients
  

Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, garlic powder, and onion powder until combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 12-15 meatballs. If the mixture is sticky, oil your hands lightly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  4. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 2-3 more minutes until cooked through. Remove meatballs from pan.
  5. In the same pan, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Add meatballs back to the pan and toss to coat in the glaze. Garnish with parsley.
