These easy baked chicken teriyaki meatballs are packed full of flavor with carrots, green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and honey.
- 2 lbs ground chicken breast
- 2 large carrots (or 3 medium carrots)
- 7 to 9 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 1/2 large onion
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3 green onion sprigs
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- salt to taste (about 1 tsp sea salt)
- Heat the oven to 425 ℉ (218 ℃).
- Peel the ginger, garlic, and carrots. Using a zester (different from a cheese grater), zest the carrots, ginger, and garlic into the same bowl.
- Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash and chop the green onion. Set aside.

- Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the chicken teriyaki mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet leaving a minimum of a 1.5" gap in between each meatball. If using a large cookie scoop, this recipe makes about 20 to 24 meatballs.
- Place the chicken teriyaki meatballs in the heated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to a minimum temperature of 165 ℉ (74 ℃).
- Serve with a side of steamed rice.
