Chicken Quinoa Meatballs image

This is a recipe from Kitchen Daily, they recommend freezing 1/2 of the recipe for a second meal. I made these and then simmered them in jarred Tikka Masala sauce, I use Sharwood's. Serve with steamed brown rice and steamed broccoli. You can also finish with the sauce of your choice.
