Ginger-Chicken Meatballs with Chinese Broccoli

Serves4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for serving
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 bunch Chinese broccoli, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, gently mix garlic, chicken, soy sauce, ginger, 4 scallions, and ½ cup broth in a medium bowl just to combine. Scooping out by the tablespoonful, form mixture into 1”-diameter meatballs.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Combine broccoli and red pepper flakes in same skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add meatballs and remaining 1½ cups broth. Bring broth to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are cooked through and broccoli is tender, 5–8 minutes. Serve sprinkled with more scallions.
