Creating the delicious Weeknight 30 Minute Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs involves these simple steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, cilantro, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Form Meatballs: Roll the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in size, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, get a skillet and add the coconut milk and red curry paste. Stir until well combined over medium heat.
- Simmer the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Stir in the lime juice for a fresh tang.
- Combine Meatballs: Once the meatballs are done, add them to the skillet with the coconut curry sauce. Gently toss to ensure the meatballs are well coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
