Chicken Meatballs with Tangy Sauce

Servings 12 servings

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground organic chicken
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup grated sweet potato
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 organic egg, whisked
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed

Tangy Sauce

  • 1 5 1/2 oz can tomato paste
  • 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard, gluten free if desired
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease baking sheet with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated carrot and sweet potato, onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, egg, and flaxseed. The best way to combine all ingredients is to use your hands. Form into 1 1/2 inch diameter balls, place on baking sheet, and transfer to preheated oven.
  • Bake for approximately 20 to 24 minutes, until chicken has cooked through (meatballs must be 165 F when tested with a meat thermometer in the center). After 10 minutes, turn meatballs over so they cook evenly.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk together. Set aside until meatballs are ready. Remove meatballs from oven and coat with sauce just before serving.
