Gluten Free Chicken Meatballs with Pineapple Dipping Sauce Recipe
This is a healthy version of meatballs that uses chicken and gluten-free oats. Pair them with the pineapple dipping sauce, the perfect sweet accompaniment.
In a saucepan, bring all the ingredients for the pineapple dipping sauce to a low boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, olive oil, tomato paste, shallot, garlic, paprika, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
In a small food processor, pulse the oats until coarsely ground. Add to the bowl.
With clean hands, mix together all of the meatball ingredients until loosely combined. Form the chicken into 1-inch balls and roll in your hands until round and smooth. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven until cooked through and beginning to brown on the bottom, about 20 minutes.
Pour the dipping sauce into a serving bowl. Serve meatballs alongside the sauce and provide toothpicks to assist with the dipping.
