Why these sticky chicken meatballs are a healthy choice
While many 'sticky' sauces are loaded with refined sugars, this version is specifically developed to stay sugar-free and unprocessed. Ground chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, which is vital for muscle repair after a Pilates session. Paired with steamed broccoli, this meal provides a massive boost of Vitamin C and fiber, supporting your immune system and keeping you full for longer.
Variations & Storage
Try swapping white rice for cauliflower rice for an extra low-carb meal. Want some heat? Add extra chili flakes or fresh ginger to the sauce. This dish is ideal for meal prep; you can store the meatballs for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
