I can often find ground chicken at a budget-friendly price. The ground chicken goes further when it is made into chicken meatballs. I love the flavors of chicken with teriyaki, and when I serve it over rice, this dish disappears fast.

While the meatballs are baking in the oven, the chicken meatball sauce comes together easily.  It’s also an easy meatball recipe to make and have on hand in the freezer.
