Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten free if desired
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat or gluten free oat flour
  • 1 small sweet potato grated (~1/2 cup, squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Curry Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 3 tablespoons green curry paste
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice ~1 lime
  • 1/2 tablespoon green dragon or hot sauce
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for the meatballs (except for olive oil).
    Mix all the ingredients for the chicken meatballs in a bowl until combined.
  • Heat a large, oven safe skillet over medium heat and add olive oil to the pan. Then, using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out mixture and mold into a ball with your hands. It works best if your hands are slightly moist with water. Place in skillet. Repeat.
  • Brown meatballs for 4-5 minutes (you don’t want them to be fully cooked). Remove from heat. Set meatballs aside.
