Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

500g ground chicken (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (30g)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25g)
1 egg
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
For the honey glaze:

1/4 cup honey (85g)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (15ml)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15ml) or white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
Directions:

Prepare the meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch or 2.5 cm in diameter).
Cook the meatballs:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, bake the meatballs on a baking sheet at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Prepare the honey glaze:
While the meatballs are cooking, combine honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili flakes, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens.
Glaze the meatballs:
Once the meatballs are cooked, pour the honey glaze over them and toss gently to coat.
Serving Suggestions:

Serve over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a green salad.
Serve as appetizers at parties or gatherings with toothpicks for easy serving.
For a fun twist, serve in a pita or wrap with some fresh veggies for a quick sandwich.
Serve with a side of dipping sauce, such as extra honey or a spicy sriracha dip.
Cooking Tips:

For a healthier option, bake the meatballs instead of frying them.
If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little water to adjust the consistency.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are fully cooked. They should reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
You can substitute ground turkey for chicken for a leaner option.
For added flavor, try adding fresh herbs like basil or cilantro to the meatball mixture.
Nutritional Benefits:

High in protein from the chicken, making it a great choice for muscle repair and growth.
The honey provides a natural source of sweetness without refined sugar.
Garlic and ginger in the glaze are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and digestive benefits.
Low in carbs, especially if served with a vegetable-based side or on its own.

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 medium jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)

For the Lime Honey Glaze:

• 1/2 cup honey
• Zest of 1 lime
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• Pinch of salt

Additional Toppings:

• Sliced jalapeños
• Freshly chopped cilantro

Kitchen Equipment

• Large mixing bowls
• Whisk
• 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet
• Toothpick
• Small bowl for the glaze
• Spoon or spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet to ensure the cornbread doesn’t stick.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Make sure the butter has cooled slightly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough. Fold in the chopped jalapeños and grated cheddar cheese (if using) to add some heat and cheesy goodness.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Prepare Glaze

While the cornbread is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, lime juice, melted butter, and salt.

Finish

Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and, while still warm, poke holes throughout the top with a toothpick. Drizzle the lime honey glaze over the cornbread, allowing it to soak in.

Garnish

Arrange the sliced jalapeños on top and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

Serve

Allow the cornbread to cool slightly in the pan before slicing and serving warm.

Tips and Variations

• Cheese Options: If you’re not a fan of cheddar, try using Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor.
• Heat Level: Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your spice tolerance. For a milder version, use only one jalapeño or substitute with milder peppers.
• Glaze Alternatives: If you’re not a fan of lime, try a honey butter glaze by omitting the lime juice and zest.
• Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.

Can I make this cornbread gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or another binding agent.

What can I use instead of buttermilk?

If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven before serving to restore its texture.

Can I add other ingredients to the batter?

Absolutely! Feel free to add corn kernels, diced bell peppers, or even crispy bacon bits for added texture and flavor.

Food and Drink Pairings

This Jalapeño Cornbread pairs wonderfully with:

• Grilled Meats: Try it alongside barbecued ribs, grilled chicken, or steak.
• Soups and Stews: It’s perfect with a bowl of chili, hearty beef stew, or spicy gumbo.
• Salads: Serve with a fresh green salad or a tangy coleslaw to balance the flavors.
