Keto Asian Chicken Meatballs

These Keto Asian Chicken Meatballs are the perfect low carb appetizer to serve at your next keto get together. They are the perfect blend of sweet and savory.

These are not your average keto meatballs

Sweet and savory and full of asian flavors, these gluten free meatballs are the perfect low carb appetizer, snack, or meal. While other keto meatball recipes might be good, these meatballs themselves are bursting with flavor from toasted sesame oil, garlic, fresh ginger, green onions, sea salt, and cilantro, but what really puts this recipe over the top is the sugar free asian sauce. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, and you’ll want to double dip every bite.

Take your keto meal prep to the next level

Keto Asian Chicken Meatballs are not only delicious, but they’re super easy to prep whether you’re just looking for an easy keto recipe or a keto appetizer to satisfy a crowd. You can make a few batches in advance and they reheat so well.

Keto Chinese food: is it too good to be true?

Typically, if you’re craving Chinese food on keto, you’re going to have to skip out on the rice, noodles, and sauces. That leaves you with steamed veggies and usually a steamed or grilled protein … not too exciting. These asian keto meatballs are better than other chicken meatballs recipes because they bring back all the asian flavors without the sugar and excessive carbs. You can enjoy them on their own, or serve these paleo meatballs on a bed of shredded cabbage and use the dipping sauce as a dressing. While this was originally written as a ground chicken recipe, you could swap chicken for ground pork, or do half and half. The best part? This recipe comes together faster than it takes to call in for takeout and wait for delivery.

But I’m allergic to eggs, can you make meatballs without eggs?

You can definitely make these keto chicken meatballs without egg. The key to gluten free meatball recipes is making sure that you have a good binder, which doesn’t always mean eggs. In this recipe, coconut flour works really well because it’s so absorbent, and easily binds to the ground chicken. If you can’t do eggs, just omit them for this recipe.
