We had ground chicken in our fridge and I asked my wife to make chicken meatballs in coconut curry sauce from a recipe found on pinterest. Instead she created this surprisingly delicious recipe that is too good to not be shared here on the blog. The strange looking shape of the meatballs is because we used our new airfryer to get a nice crisp on the outside.
Here you can find this recipe in swedish.
Recipe: Chicken meatballs with coconut lime sauce
Ingredients
- rice
- 1 small onion
- 50 ml breadcrumbs
- 50 ml water
- 500 g ground chicken
- 1 egg
- ½ tbsp worcestershire sauce
- tabasco
- salt
- black pepper
Sauce
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ½ tbsp lime zest
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp chicken fond
- tabasco
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Start preparing the rice
Chicken meatballs
- Heat the airfryer to 180°C (350°F). Or use a regular oven.
- Place breadcrumbs/panko in a big bowl with the water, set aside
- Peel and finely chop the onion, add to the bowl
- Add ground chicken, egg and all the spices to the bowl and mix together
- Form into balls of around 5 cm (2 inches)
- We used an airfryer for 10 min but I guess it would work just fine to fry it in a normal pan or in the oven
Sauce
- Heat up a pot with coconut milk
- Zest the lime and juice it, add to the pot
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir together
- Let it simmer for a few minutes
