Great taste, but rice/sauce to meatball ratio was off. A little too much rice.

Excellent! I made this for the first time last night. It was absolutely delicious. I did make a few changes as well. I used whole grain bread instead of white bread and I added a few tablespoons of panko bread crumbs as well. I used a red pepper instead of a green (that's all I had in my fridge). I used a tad bit less of the vinegar and ketchup and a bit more of the pineapple and it's juices. I baked the meatballs first, then added them to the sauce and simmered on very low for about 30 minutes. I used the "boil in a bag" white rice that I had cooked in the microwave and served it over that. A+

I left out the zucchini & green pepper as I didn't have any and added a little more garlic powder (I love garlic!). I used a scoop to form the meatballs. I used a full pound of ground chicken so it made a few more meatballs--which is good in a house full of meat-lovers! The sauce seemed a little watery to me & I would probably cut down on the ketchup a little b/c I tasted it more than I would have liked. It was pretty simple to prepare even though the list of ingredients can look overwhelming. It was very good & I will make again.

This was just okay. My husband said it was edible but he wouldn't ask me to make it again.

Loved this recipe. Made a few simple changes. I included half the amount of vinegar. Added 1/8th tsp cayenne..it wouldn't hurt to add more. And instead of garlic powder for the meatballs, I crushed one large clove of garlic which gave the meal the perfect amount of garlicky flavour.

If you are craving sweet and sour chicken/pork, this comes close, and its not deep fried, so it's a win win! Made it for dinner last night and was so happy with the results! Used brown rice instead of instant to add a little more nutritional value...This receipe is definately a keeper! Yea!!! :)

I made this recipe for the sauce and didn't like it at all. I'm looking for a good weet and sour sauce and this is just not it. It doesn't taste terrible just not what I was looking for and not that good.

This recipe was excellent. A nice change from the "restaurant style" sweet and sour sauce I usually make. I made the recipe almost as listed, I cooked the rice separately instead of using instant rice, and I used 20 oz. ground chicken instead of the 12 oz. the recipe called for. The meat mixture was still very gooey when I formed the meatballs, but after they cooked they were perfect. Excellent flavor, everyone loved it.

Really yummy! I make my own chicken balls, not following the recipe but the sauce is great! I would double the chicken mixture because otherwise it's mostly sauce. Very yummy and alot of fun to throw together. Thanks!
