Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, and finely chopped jalapeños. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Step 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Form the chicken mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 3: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Step 4: While the meatballs are baking, prepare the curry sauce by heating a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Step 5: Once simmering, add in the baked meatballs to the sauce and let them cook together for an additional 5 minutes. Serve over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep leftover meatball bowls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, making sure to separate the meatballs and sauce to maintain their textures.
- When reheating, gently warm the meatballs and curry sauce on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking or drying out; you can add a splash of coconut milk if they seem too thick.
- To elevate your meal, consider serving the curry chicken meatballs over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice topped with extra jalapeño slices for a spicy kick, and don't forget a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor.
- For a chef's tip, use gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation, and feel free to adjust the number of peppers based on your heat preference—more for spice lovers and less for those who prefer milder flavors!
