Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Once the meatballs are done, add them to the skillet with the coconut curry sauce. Gently coat the meatballs in the sauce and let them simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped fresh herbs like basil or mint into the meatball mixture.
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork for a different flavor profile.
