Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with panko breadcrumbs, red curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, beaten egg, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and coconut milk. Mix until just combined.
  3. Roll portions of the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, red curry paste, and warm water until smooth.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve alongside the creamy peanut dipping sauce.
