Easy Sesame Chicken Meatballs | if you’re craving takeout Chinese food, but want a healthier option, I got you! These healthy takeout sesame chicken meatballs are 🔥🔥🔥

🐔 Meatballs
1lb ground chicken 
1 egg
1/2 cup panko, plus more as needed 
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated 
1 tbsp soy sauce 
1 tsp sesame oil 
3 scallions, finely chopped 
Salt & Pepper 

🍶 Sesame Sauce 
1/3 cup soy sauce 
2 1/2 tbsp honey 
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar 
2 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar 
2 1/2 tsp sesame oil 
3 garlic cloves, grated 
1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated 
1 tbsp sriracha 

1/2 cup chicken stock 
1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water 
Sesame seeds, for garnish 
Rice & Broccoli to serve

Preheat your oven to 425°. 

Mix all the meatball ingredients in a bowl, adding more panko breadcrumbs as needed. Then roll into 16 balls, then transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 425° for 10 minutes, just to firm up. 

While the meatballs quickly bake, mix all the sesame sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. 

Then add the meatballs to the CrockPot along with the sesame sauce. Cook on low for 2 hours. 

After 2 hours, add about a 1/2 cup of chicken stock and your cornstarch slurry. Cook, uncovered for another 20 minutes to thicken the sauce. 

Serve with rice and broccoli. Then top with more sauce and toasted sesame seeds.
