Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into bite-sized meatballs.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. While the meatballs are browning, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  6. Pour the coconut curry sauce over the browned meatballs in the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more red curry paste.
  • Serve with steamed rice or naan bread.
  • You can make the meatballs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
