Description

Delicious meatballs made with ground chicken and cashews, mixed with spices and herbs, and served with a side of homemade sweet and sour sauce.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • Oil, For Frying
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • ½ cups Plain Breadcrumbs
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 whole Small Red Onion, Diced
  • ¼ cups Chopped Fresh Basil
  • ¼ cups Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • ⅓ cups Finely Chopped Cashews
  • 1  Small Orange, Zested
  • ⅓ cups Cream Cheese, Softened
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • ¼ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cups White Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Water

Preparation

For the chicken:
Place the flour in a shallow dish and set aside.

Heat the oil.

In a large mixing bowl combine chicken, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, onion, basil, parsley, cashews, orange zest, and cream cheese. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.

Roll meat into bite-size balls, dip in flour, turn to coat on all sides, and add into hot oil. Oil should come about halfway up the meatballs. I fry about 4 to 5 meatballs at a time.

Cook for 3 minutes, turn and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until nicely browned and done. Drain on paper towels and cover to keep warm.

For the sauce:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes.

Serve meatballs with sauce on the side.

These were absolutely delicious! I omitted the flour and baked them at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. I served them over zucchini and squash ribbons. Thanks!~ Bethann
