About this recipe

Chicken meatballs in curry sauce are a mild dinner made with ground chicken and a creamy coconut milk sauce. The meatballs, made with egg and breadcrumbs, are tender, and a brief sear helps them retain their shape before cooking in the sauce. Mild curry gives the dish color and aroma without overpowering the delicate meat. Coconut milk makes a sauce that coats the meatballs well and makes the dish creamier. Serve right away, while the sauce is hot and slightly thickened and the meatballs remain juicy.

Ingredients

Servings: 4

  • 400 g ground chicken

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

  • 150 ml coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon mild curry powder

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil (about 12 g)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps

  1. Mix the ground chicken with the egg, breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then shape into small meatballs.

  2. Heat the oil in a skillet and sear the meatballs for 5–6 minutes, turning them, until browned on several sides. They do not need to be cooked through in the center yet. Transfer them to a plate.

  3. In the same skillet, heat the curry powder for 20–30 seconds, pour in the coconut milk, and stir. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer, covered, for 8–10 minutes, until the largest meatball is fully cooked through in the center.

  4. Serve right away with a prepared side, while the curry sauce is hot and the meatballs remain juicy.
