No idea why, but we have been on a meatball kick before we made these Coconut Chicken Meatballs. Have you tried out French Onion Meatballs yet? Or what about our Chicken Parmesan Meatballs? Well, those are sure yummy and we couldn’t resist trying another meatball recipe. This time we wanted to change from savory to sweet. Looking around the cabinets I noticed a can of coconut milk and it all clicked. At first I was going to use ground turkey but though ground chicken would hold the flavor better. Little by little, the recipe came together on a random Wednesday evening.
Ground Chicken: Ground chicken is very wet and really absorbs the flavors of this dish perfectly. We only recommend making these meatballs with ground chicken, ground turkey had a very different taste and ground beef is too greasy and alters the flavor.
Coconut Milk: This is key, the coconut milk and cream on top will provide the perfect sweetness to add to the meatballs. The cream helps to keep the meatballs moist as well since we do not add any egg to the mixture.
Grated Ginger: Grated ginger is the preferred ingredient but you can use ground ginger as well. The fresh ginger adds an extra zing.
Pop of Freshness: For this dish we chose to add red bell peppers for an extra pop of freshness but mango would also be delicious as a garnish for these Coconut Chicken Meatballs.
From our kitchen to yours, cheers!
