Asian-Style Chicken Meatballs







Last night my husband was working late and I was trying find something quick, easy and healthy to make for the kids and I.  I stumbled across this recipe and let me tell it was a huge hit in my house! These Asian style meatballs are super tasty; with the lovely crunch of the green scallions and the flavor of the cilantro running through it.  It's sure to be a hit in your house too! Oh by the way, these would also be a really great party food too!  Healthy but yummy! 
Happy eating from my kitchen to yours~ 


I had to make a second batch for my husband because the kids and I ate them all! 


In my opinion the sauce is divine! I could use it for everything! super tasty!
