Easy Homemade Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients:
3/4- 1 lb organic ground chicken meat
3-4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 small bunch of cilantro, leaves and stems, roughly chopped
1 egg
1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black ground pepper, 1/2 tsp white ground pepper
1 tsp sesame oil

Directions: Preheat oven 375F. Line the baking tray with parching paper and brush some oil on the baking sheet. Marinate the chicken with all the seasoning ingredients, and shape them into meatballs. Lay on baking sheet. Roast in oven for about 25mins till cooked through. Remove and set aside. When cooled to room temperature, store 1-2 servings of meatballs in separate airtight bags and freeze. Anytime it calls for meatball, thaw and remove the meatballs from the bags and reheat appropriately for use.
