1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl combine ground chicken, eggs, panko, minced garlic, diced green onions, Greek yogurt, mustard, cayenne, salt and pepper. Using your hands, fold the mixture together. Make sure you're not squeezing the meat or pushing it down too hard. That will make for a really tough meatball. Folding in the key to fluffy meatballs.
2
Carefully pat together golf ball sized meatballs. They won't be super firm, but that's okay. Drop meatballs onto a foil lined and greased baking sheet. The recipe should make about 12. Pop into a 400 degree oven for 20-23 minutes.
3
As the meatballs cook, whip together the avocado dipping sauce. Combine the peeled avocado, sriracha, yogurt, lime juice, water, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse until really smooth, no clumps.
4
Remove meatballs after 20 minutes to check and pop in for 3 more minutes to finish if necessary. Serve the meatballs with the spicy avocado sauce for a meal or as an appetizer.
