Brothy Scallion Ginger Chicken Meatballs

These meatballs are so soft and delicious. The broth is so good you can drink it on its own but if you pour it over some jasmine rice its a win!
I like to make these in the slowcooker because they come out super soft and moist but feel free to make them in your preferred method if you want something quicker.
