-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds ground chicken -- breast
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons pineapple juice -- plus 3/4 cup pineapple juice, divided use
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves -- grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup ponzu sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 small onion -- thinly sliced
4 cups cubed fresh pineapple
1 jalapeno chile pepper
1/3 cup brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 375F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the chicken, ground ginger, 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice, bread crumbs, egg and minced onion and garlic. Form into 1-inch balls. Place on the baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining pineapple juice, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, ponzu sauce, lime juice, and cornstarch. Pour into a 6-quart slow cooker.

Add the grated ginger, sliced onion, pineapple, jalapeno, and brown sugar to the slow cooker. Stir.

Add the meatballs and cook on low for 6-9 hours.

AuthorNote: This is a festive appetizer for a party. Serve leftovers with short-grain rice for a quick and easy meal.

How to Cut Up a Pineapple: cut 1/2-inch off the bottom and top of the pineapple. Use a knife to slice off the skin and remove any "eyes". Slice the flesh from around the round core. Discard the core and cube the flesh.
