    We love Teriyaki Chicken in our house and I thought nothing could top that go-to recipe.

    Until this……. These Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs were a huge hit last week. So much so a double batch was asked for this week.

    They are quick to mix up and bake for just 20 minutes. While they are cooking, you create the simple teriyaki sauce….. which is everything!

    I served them over jasmine rice with roasted green beans for a perfect healthy dinner.

    They would also be fabulous as an appetizer too!  I would probably make them a little smaller to make more of them.  Place them in a slow cooker to keep them warm.
