Get a little wild with these tasty appetizer meatballs. Lean ground chicken is mixed with cooked wild rice, to form tender meatballs. The sauce is a combination of sweet and sour with chunks of pineapple.

I served these slightly different than the directions instructed but they turned out just as delicious. The meatballs have fantastic flavor and texture - the wild rice really adds a lot! You could also easily alter the recipe to use a different sauce (either with or without the pineapple) but I thought the sweet and sour flavors paired quite well.
