Thai Chicken Meatballs

These are great on their own, or with rice (fried or not) and a simple salad.

These can also be made into burgers and are great with a thai peanut sauce or a thai slaw.


Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander seed
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the chicken and bread crumbs. Season with green onion, ground coriander, ginger, cilantro, chili sauce and lemon juice; mix well.
  2. Using damp hands, form mixture into evenly shaped balls that are either small enough to eat with your fingers, or large enough to use as burgers.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken balls in batches until well browned all over.
