Creating Thai Chicken Meatballs in Creamy Coconut Curry Sauce involves several straightforward steps. Follow these instructions for a delicious result:
1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, cilantro, green onions, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Cook Meatballs: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Coconut Curry Sauce: In the same skillet, add coconut milk, red curry paste, brown sugar, lime juice, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer the Meatballs: Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the sauce. Cover and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure that the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F) and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil.
