Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp White pepper
Cooking ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive oil For frying
- 2 tbsp Butter or ghee
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Honey or agave syrup
- 1/2 cup Water
Garnish

Instructions
Preparation
- Grab a large bowl. Add the ground chicken, and break the egg into the mixture. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and white pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
- With wet hands, roll portions of the mixture into small meatballs, roughly 1 to 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate.
Cooking
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs carefully and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the browned meatballs to the side of the pan. Add butter and minced garlic into the pan, stirring until garlic is golden.
- Pour in the soy sauce and water, deglazing the pan for about 10 seconds, then add honey and let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Return the meatballs to the pan and toss them in the simmering sauce for about a minute until coated.
Notes
Keep hands wet when rolling meatballs to avoid sticking. Adjust honey to preference.
