Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 20 meatballs.
  3. 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.
  4. In the same skillet, add coconut milk, red curry paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the sliced bell pepper and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
