Ingredients
  

Chicken Meatballs

  • 1 pound Ground chicken
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon Green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Curry sauce

  • 1 Red pepper diced
  • ½ White onion diced
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon Green curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onion and cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until combined, but be sure not to over mix so that the meatballs don't dry out.
  • Use a 1-inch meat baller (or scoop) to scoop out the meatballs. Spray the bottom of the air fryer with non-stick spray and place all the meatballs on a greased tray. Air fry for 12 minutes at 375 degrees. If you don't have an air fryer, cook meatballs on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • While the meatballs are cooking heat a pan to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil to your pan. Then toss in the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the pan. Saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Once veggies are cooked down, add the rest of the curry ingredients, leaving out the green onion and cilantro for garnish. Simmer the curry sauce for about 10 minutes.
  • Once meatballs are cooked, add them to the curry sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve meatballs and sauce alone or if you choose to, you can serve it over cauliflower rice or regular rice! Top with green onion and cilantro. Enjoy!!

Notes

  • Like I mentioned above, make extra meatballs to freeze for later.
  • If you like it spicy, don't be afraid to add some Thai chilis to the mix or extra Sriracha.
  • If you like less spice, just leave the Sriracha out.
  • For kids, serve the meatballs plain or with the sauce on the side so they can try it.
