Here is how you make Chicken Bites - 3 ways:

Gently tear the cabbage apart and wash the leaves. You will not use the dozen or so innermost leaves as they are too small.First Way:Cover the leaves with water and bring it to a boil. Turn it off, drain and let them cool. Meanwhile, mix the filling. I grind my own chicken breast but it isn't required. Add all the remaining ingredients except the chicken broth. You can use a spoon but it's easier with your hands.Prepare the cabbage leaves by cutting out the stem in a V-shape. Take all the cut outs -- the leftovers -- chop, and add to the filling. Mix well. Using a melon baller or small scoop, place a ball near the broad end of each leaf. Tuck the top over, fold in the sides and roll like a burrito. Refer to the JUST BENTO blog for a fine explanation and lovely photos.Place these chicken balls in the bottom of a large pan, resting on the "tail" end. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the bottom by about 1/2 inch. Heat to boiling and reduce to simmer. Cover pan and cook 15 minutes. Double-check with a meat thermometer (should be 160 degrees.)Lift them out gently and reserve the yummy broth. Serve with Chinese dipping sauce for dumplings. I am going to pair these with carrot kinpira and some sort of bread or cracker.This way makes about 6 servings. I will use them for bento boxes with veggies and fruit.Second Way:Using a small scoop, about golf ball size, and form all the remaining filling into balls. This is easier with wet hands.Heat about 1 tbsp. of cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil in non-stick skillet. Flatten 18 balls in your hands to make patties about 1/2" thick. Divide into two batches; cook until 160 degrees inside; about 3-4 minutes on each side. Reserve oil in skillet.. (Serve 3 patties to each with fried rice and carrots).Third way: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil to skillet. Working in batches, quickly brown meatballs. Place in large roasting pan, coated with cooing spray.When all meatballs are added, pour in the reserved broth from the cabbage balls. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes or until the meatballs reach 160 degrees. Serve these with plum sauce or orange sauce.I am going to put them in lunches with edemame and molded rice.
