Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 egg
• ½ cup whole wheat panko
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 3 green onions (white and green parts), finely minced
• 1 tablespoon red thai curry paste (I like Mae Ploy brand)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup chicken stock
• ¼ cup unsweetened original almond milk
• Basil leaves (for garnish)
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chicken, egg, salt, pepper, and panko
• Form into balls (this recipe makes four servings, so I quartered the meatball mixture and made each quarter into 4 meatballs. You can make yours bigger or smaller based on preference, just keep in mind that ¼ of the meat will be your serving size, which is 1 red container)
• Bake meatballs for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, flip, and bake for another 5 minutes
• For the sauce, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat
• Add your ginger, garlic, and scallions and cook for a few minutes
• Add your red curry paste in with the veggies and stir until everything is combined
• Add your coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir until everything is combined
• Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce has thickened
• Turn off the heat and stir in your almond milk
• Season to taste with salt and pepper
• When the meatballs are done cooking, add into the sauce and stir around so the meatballs are coated
• Top with fresh sliced basil
