Harvestland Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs

Meatballs are a popular dish in our house mainly because they are fast and easy and my sometimes picky toddler loves them. My whole family loves Asian flavors so I thought I would make simple Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs for dinner tonight. These meatballs have just 5 ingredients and the whole meal is made in less than 30 minutes!

The folks over at Harvestland and MomsMeet sent me a gift box of coupons to use so I stocked up on Harvestland whole chicken, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, ground chicken, and ground turkey for all my recipes over the next month. It’s all available at my local Wal-Mart and it’s long been my preferred brand for my family. Their products are fresh, all natural, cage free, and hormone and steroid free. I feel good knowing I am feeding my family the best.

Their motto: HARVESTLAND® antibiotic-free meat is pure and simple, like your ancestors would have eaten. So dig in, your ancestors would be proud.

Makes 18 meatballs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together ground chicken, 1/4 cup green onions, egg, 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce, and panko breadcrumbs in a bowl until well combined.
3. Scoop out a small palm sized amount (about 2 tbsp) in your hand and roll into a meatball. Place on a lined tray or plate until all meatballs are rolled out. 
4. In a large skillet over medium heat add a large swirl of olive oil to coat the bottom evenly.
5. Gently place meatballs in the pan, spacing slightly and not overcrowding (I usually cook about 8-10 at a time). 
6. Let the meatballs sizzle and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned on one side then flip over and cook until browned on the other side.
7. Add about 1/3 cup chicken broth to the pan (enough to cover the bottom).
8. Now you can either place the skillet in the oven, which is what I like to do, (I use a oven safe cast iron pan) and let the meatballs finish cooking in the oven for about 5 minutes.
9. Or you can lower the heat on the stove to med-low, cover with a lid, and let the meatballs simmer on the stove top until the liquid is evaporated (about 5-10 minutes). 
10. Add the meatballs to a platter or dish, baste with 1 tbsp Terayaki sauce, and cover to keep warm.
11. Repeat the cooking process with remaining meatballs.
12. Serve warm on top of hot Jasmine rice and with a side of veggies (like my Lemon Parmesan Roasted Broccoli).
13. Garnish with 1 tbsp green onions (and more teriyaki sauce if you’d like).

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. 

Scoop out and roll into small meatballs (about 2 tbsp worth of mixture per ball). 

I like to serve my Teriyaki Meatballs with a side of Lemon Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.

A healthy, hearty dinner for the whole family made in under 30 minutes!
