Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g ground chicken
  • 60 g breadcrumbs
  • 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 240 g cranberry sauce
  • 60 ml orange juice
  • 30 ml honey
  • 15 ml soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic, orange zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the cranberry-orange glaze by combining cranberry sauce, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and ground ginger in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well mixed and heated through.
  6. Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the cranberry-orange glaze.
  7. Serve the meatballs warm, drizzled with extra glaze if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture.
  • These meatballs can be made ahead of time and frozen for later use.
  • Serve with rice or on a bed of greens for a complete meal.
