These super easy Chicken Meatballs will be your new favorite! The lemongrass adds a wonderful, fresh flavor and the gochujang packs a punch of heat. This dish goes great with rice and a grilled vegetable plus a drizzle of peanut sauce for an extra creminess richness on top! The meatballs come together in about 30 minutes, making it a great option for an easy weeknight dinner when you are short on time. You could also make these ahead of time for the week and reheat.
For the Meatballs:
- 1 Lb Ground Chicken
- 2 Tbsp GoChuJang
- 2 Tbsp Lemongrass Paste
