Coconut chicken Meatballs

Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1 egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup onion, finely diced

1 tbsp ginger, minced

2 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 tbsp red curry paste

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion, ginger, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

Form meatballs: Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Make the sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes to release the flavors.

Add coconut milk: Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Combine: Add the baked meatballs to the skillet with the coconut curry sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs in the sauce and let simmer for 5 more minutes.

Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve over rice or with naan.
