If you have wondered how to make chicken meatballs that are delicious with fewer calories look no further. We have got you the best Asian style meatballs recipe. Serve these with fried rice or noodles for a totally tasty family meal.

Chicken Meatballs were on my mind for a long time. It took me few trials to get the baked meatballs perfect.
Drench them in a bold bolognese sauce and serve with spaghetti or simmer them in a creamy mushroom sauce. Either, ways they are truly delicious.
My favorite way of enjoying chicken meatballs is in a sweet and spicy Asian style sauce or gravy along with fried rice.
Asian Chicken Meatballs are flavorsome, gratifying, and not too high in calories. Super easy to prepare as well.

Meal-Prep For Chicken Meatballs:
Meatballs: Prepare the mixture and shape the meatballs a few hours or a day before. Keep them in the fridge (not freezer). Just before dinner time, pop them in the oven (they need only 20 – 25 minutes). Meanwhile, prepare the sauce and boil the noodles simultaneously.
In less than an hour, the Chinese takeaway style meal is ready at home.

Baked Chicken Meatballs can be stored in the fridge for a week. Re-heat them in a microwave and then simmer in the sauce of your choice.
In case, you are not too keen on baking the meatballs. Go ahead, and deep-fry them. Like how I did in chicken cheese balls. This will require an extra effort but some people find it totally worth it.
The Asian Style Sauce…
This Asian style sauce is very easy to make and requires minimal prep work. From chicken meatballs to stir-fry shrimps, you can add any meat of your choice in this versatile sauce.
You can serve meatballs as a snack or simmer them in this finger-licking good sweet, spicy, and garlicky sauce for a takeaway style main-course.

What Can You Serve With Asian Chicken Meatballs?
You can serve chicken meatballs with:
steamed jasmine rice
chilli garlic stir-fry noodles
or for a healthy twist serve them with quinoa or cauliflower rice
Regardless, of the fact, once you try Asian Chicken Meatballs they will become your dinner time favorite family meal.
Tips To Make BEST Baked Chicken Meatballs:
Always use the ground chicken and not minced chicken for making meatballs.

If the meatball mixture is very wet/sticky, keep it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Do not add any flour in the ground chicken. The meatballs will become tough and doughy.
Make sure all the meatballs are of the same size and of bite-size. Uneven and too big meatballs often remain uncooked from the inside.
Baking time may vary depending on the oven and the size of the meatballs. So check meatballs after 20 minutes.

Hi Nina, I am going to try this recipe soon ! I would want to know what’s the difference between ground and minced chicken ?
Hina Gujral says
Minced Chicken is granular in texture like a keema. Whereas ground chicken has a paste-like texture and it’s easy to bind. Mince chicken will not bind. If you have a good food processor you can ground boneless chicken in it.
