Buying Amylu Chicken Meatballs
You can always find the Amylu pre-cooked chicken meatballs in “club size” packs at Costco but they are always rotating out the flavors so if you see the Teriyaki-Pineapple version in the warehouse then make sure to grab a pack!
If the Amylu version of this product isn’t available in your warehouse then there is usually an equivalent version from Aidells that will work fine in this recipe.
The Costco Club Pack of these meatballs weighs 46 oz and contains two packets with each packet containing roughly 23 ounces. Each 23 ounce pack has about 25-30 meatballs. The smaller 10 ounce packages from Kroger or Albertsons only contain about 12 meatballs so you will want to buy two packs for this recipe.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 (23 oz) package Amylu Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs (precooked)
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or white rice (uncooked: ~1 cup)
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunks (drained) or fresh diced pineapple
