Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup grated onion
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup peanut butter
4 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

toothpicks

Steps:

Mix chicken, cilantro, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper; roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.
Mix peanut butter, sesame oil, sugar, and soy sauce together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until sauce is heated through, about 1 minute.
Toss meatballs with 1/2 of the sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with toothpicks and remaining sauce for dipping.
