If you love meatballs, these chicken and sausage balls are for you! Italian pork sausage brings a ton of flavor with little effort, while bell pepper and scallions add a bit of crunch. Worcestershire sauce is a great flavor boost with a briny tang. Serving a whopping 15 in well under a hour, this dish is great for a cocktail party appetizer. The unique addition of the tropical creamy mango sauce adds great fodder for rich conversations. For an elegant presentation, place a bowl of the sauce on a platter lined with watercress. Skewer the meatballs on party picks and place on the watercress. Make these meatballs for the next spaghetti night at home for simple, tasty meatballs the kids will devour.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a nonstick 10 x 15-inch jelly-roll pan with nonstick spray.
  2. To make the meatballs, combine the chicken, sausage, 1⁄2 cup of the bread crumbs, the bell pepper, cottage cheese, egg whites, scallions, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Shape into 30 (1-inch) balls.
  3. Place the Parmesan cheese, pecans, and the remaining 3 tablespoons bread crumbs on wax paper. Roll the balls in the cheese mixture to coat evenly. Place in a single layer without touching each other on the jelly-roll pan. Bake until cooked through and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, pulse the mango, yogurt, half-and-half, orange juice, honey, and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Serve with the meatballs. Yields 2 meatballs with 2 tablespoons sauce per serving.
