1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg

For the Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce:

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Sriracha (add more for extra heat)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

For Serving:

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

2 cups steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables

Fresh green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Meatballs:

    - In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, soy sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

      - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

        - Shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

            Make the Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce:

              - While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

                - Bring the mixture to a simmer, then mix in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch and water). Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    - Divide cooked rice equally among serving bowls. Top with steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables.

                      - Once the meatballs are cooked, toss them in the spicy honey garlic sauce until well-coated.

                        - Add the saucy meatballs on top of the rice and vegetables.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over each bowl for an added crunch and flavor.

                              - Enjoy your Spicy Honey Garlic Meatball Bowl warm, savoring the sweet and spicy flavors!
