These can be make and on the table in 30 minutes.

Which is PERFECT for snacking.

The over indulgence of the holidays is behind us and it’s time to remember how to eat to feel good, what to snack on to stay satisfied and look towards the foods our bodies need to run at their best.

New Year’s resolutions are easy to make but difficult to maintain.

Heathy snacking is a great way to not over eat at meals,

it’s to easy to not think of snacking as essential,

then when meal time arrives, the hunger is over whelming and we over eat.

These meatballs are great reheated, so making up a batch ahead of time is a great way to be sure you have some delicious options.

preparing chicken meatballs in plum sauce

Mix up ground chicken with Panko bread crumbs, egg, garlic, salt and pepper.  Then roll 2 tablespoons of mixture into meatballs, then roll in Panko breadcrumbs, this gives the meatballs a extra crunch.

Bake them on parchment lined baking sheet at 350 degrees.

Next mix up the sauce,

Place plum juice, soy sauce, vinegar, corn starch, crushed red pepper and sesame oil into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. You can adjust the spiciness of this sauce by adding or decreasing the crushed red pepper.

Pour the sauce over to dip the meatballs into the sauce coating them completely so they are encased in the delicious flavor. Serve additional sauce on the side for dipping into, or to pour over a salad, rice or egg noodles for a complete meal.

The Plum Sauce will absorb into the meatballs and look like a pretty pink glaze over them.

Serve with diced scallions and sesame seeds.

Place serving picks into the tops of the meatballs for easy snacking!

    Oh my goodness! These sound just amazing! Perfect for game day, but also special enough for other (ahem … dare I say … classier … parties 😀 )! I love how healthy they are, too! No need to feel guilty snagging a couple extra off the appetizer buffet! Can’t wait to pin this to share (and totally wishing I had all the ingredients to whip these up tonight!!!).
