Ingredients
  

Meatball Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional for extra flavor
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Curry Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 can coconut milk 13.5 oz
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan (if using), egg, chopped cilantro, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Lightly grease your crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Pour half of this mixture into the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Place the meatballs on top of the sauce in the crockpot. Gently pour the remaining coconut curry sauce over the meatballs.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.
  2. Once done, serve your delicious coconut curry meatballs over rice, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

For an extra punch, try adding some chopped chili peppers for heat. Feel free to use ground turkey or beef as an alternative to chicken. To keep meatballs juicy, avoid overmixing the ingredients.
