Chicken Rice Balls Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Chicken rice balls (a. K. A. Onigiri) make a delicious snack, a tasty lunch, or a supremely easy dinnerjust add a salad or some roasted or grilled vegetables. Chicken is cooked in a simple marinade before being mixed with short-grain rice and pressed into balls. The result is much more flavor-wise than the sum of its parts, and much easier work-wise than people would guess. Note that if you have culinarily curious kids, this is a particularly fun dish to make together
