Asian Chicken Meatballs with Honey Sauce

This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners. It's high in protein, gluten-free, and full of flavor without any processed ingredients.

INGREDIENTS — Meatballs:

• Cooking oil spray

• 1 lb ground chicken (98% fat free)

• 1 T coconut aminos

• 1 egg

• 2 T minced green onions

• 1 T minced ginger

• 1 clove of garlic, minced

• ½ cup of matchstick carrots, diced up small

• ¼ cup gluten free or whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

• ½ tsp sea or Himalayan salt

INGREDIENTS — Sauce:

• 1/4 cup of honey

• 1/3 cup of coconut aminos

• 1 T tomato paste

• 2 tsp coconut oil (use 1 tsp for WW)

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 2 cloves of garlic minced

• 1 T finely chopped ginger

• A dash of crushed red pepper

DIRECTIONS: Mix all ingredients for the meatballs. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until cooked through. While meatballs are cooking, combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on the stove until sauce begins to thicken. If not thickened, take a small amount of sauce out and mix with 1 tsp of tapioca flour to make a slurry, then mix back into the sauce. Mix meatballs with sauce and serve.
