  • Total Time: 22 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon fish sauce

Instructions

Making Easy Thai Baked Chicken Meatballs is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure success in your culinary adventure:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands or a spatula, mix all the ingredients until well combined but avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough meatballs.
4. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Meatballs: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and slightly golden brown on the outside.
6. Check Doneness: An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is ideal for chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
7. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Prepare Dipping Sauce (Optional): For an extra flavor boost, mix together peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce in a small bowl for dipping.

Each step brings you closer to enjoying these delightful meatballs. The combination of fresh ingredients and Thai spices will ensure they are a hit at your next meal.
