Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 18 ounce Crushed pineapples in juice
  • 1/2 cup Low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 pound Ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Grater
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the pineapples, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic. Whisk in the cornstarch and cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 2 minutes. Allow mixture to cool.
  3. Place the chicken, breadcrumbs, salt, and 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce in a bowl and mix until well combined.
  4. Using a 1 tablespoon measure or small ice cream scoop, shape the mixture into balls.
  5. Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until cooked through.
  6. Serve with the extra teriyaki sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • To Freeze: Place uncooked meatballs on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes, then transfer to a labeled freezer bag. Defrost in the fridge overnight and continue cooking as directed above in step 5. Alternately, bake the meatballs directly from frozen, adding 5 minutes to the cooking time.
