Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, cilantro, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 20 meatballs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

- Add the sliced bell pepper and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, add more red curry paste or sliced fresh chili peppers.
- Substitute ground turkey or pork for the chicken for a different flavor profile.
