Easy & family-friendly, our Thermomix Chicken Meatballs are made from chicken mince, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce. Great for kids and toddlers!
With our little toddler in the house, I'm always on a mission to make yummy little snacks that can be eaten for lunch, dinner, popped in lunchboxes, or frozen... and these Thermomix Chicken Meatballs are exactly that!
You can serve them on their own, with a salad or vegetables, or even toss them through some pasta or rice. They're super versatile and yummy!
I like to prepare the mixture in the Thermomix and then bake them in the oven in mini-muffin tins. The muffin tins help the meatballs to cook evenly and keep their shape perfectly.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- I like to prepare the mixture in the Thermomix and then bake them in the oven in mini-muffin tins. The muffin tins help the meatballs to cook evenly and keep their shape perfectly (but if you don't have a mini muffin tray, you can use a regular flat baking tray).
- You can use store-bought chicken mince or mince chicken breasts/thighs in the Thermomix.
- Use damp hands when rolling the meatballs (this will help the mixture to stop sticking to your hands)
- Brush a little extra sweet chilli sauce over the top of the cooked meatballs to help the sesame seeds stick and also to give the meatballs an extra delicious flavour.
- Serve the Thermomix chicken meatballs on their own, in lettuce wraps, in a rice bowl with steamed veggies, with an Asian-style salad, with noodles, pasta or mashed potato... the choice is yours!
- Freeze cooked or uncooked meatballs for up to 1 month.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and consume within 24 hours.

My exceptionally fussy 2 1/2 year old devoured 6 of these. There can be no higher praise than that. Thank you

Hahaha! Yes you're very right! Toddlers acceptance is the best praise going round!

Do you think I can double the batch in my TM6 ?
Tash says
The mixture won't combine as well if you double the batch and you do need to be careful about overloading the motor. To minimise the manual mixing, or to prevent the mince from being completely blitzed, it would probably be better and safer to just do 2 batches.

Next time I will add some Five Spice Powder for another hit of flavour..thanks

Is there an alternative to sweet chilli and the sesame seeds? Thank you!

Lucy says
Hi Song, you can omit them if you prefer - or you could try BBQ sauce?

Hi.. Lucy, can you use rice crumbs instead of bread crumbs? Reckon will work?
Reply
Lucy says
Hi Evelyn, to be honest I've never used rice crumbs before so I'm not sure on their texture! I'd love to hear how they go!

Recipe looks tasty - going to give it a go... At what stage do you freeze - raw or cooked?

Hi Kate, I generally freeze any leftovers after cooking and reheat when I need them.
