Thai Chicken Meatballs with Sweet Chilli & Sesame Slaw

Tasty meatballs with a mild chilli flavour that kids love, served with a quick healthy coleslaw. The meatballs can be prepared ahead of time.

4 Tbs Sweet Chilli Sauce
4 Tbs Mayonnaise
1/4 tsp Sesame Oil
1 Lime (juice only)
2 Tbs Toasted Sesame Seeds

Method

Process the diced Inghams Chicken Breast, bread, 2 Tbs sweet chilli sauce, coriander, ginger, spring onions & 1/4 tsp of sesame oil, until minced.
Roll into balls and chill while preparing the coleslaw.
Combine the remaining sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, mayonnaise & lime juice, mix well, toss through the coleslaw, just before serving.
Heat a non-stick frypan, cook the meatballs over med heat, turning as needed until browned on all sides & cooked through.
To serve, place meatballs on top of coleslaw, drizzle with a little sweet chilli sauce, sprinkle with sliced spring onion & toasted sesame seeds.

Yum… and I could actually cheat. Coles now sells a pre-packed type slaw similar to this so I could just add the dressing and chicken and… voila!
