Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken (93% lean)
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Optional: 1 small grated carrot
  • Optional: 1/2 finely chopped red bell pepper
  • Optional: 2 finely chopped scallions
  • Parchment paper for lining the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the red curry paste, fish sauce, fresh lime juice, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. If using, add the optional finely chopped or grated vegetables.
  3. Add the ground chicken, egg, and breadcrumbs to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
  4. Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll each portion into uniform meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
  6. Place the meatballs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden brown, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. For optional browning, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
