Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, 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 the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. While baking, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, red curry paste, and warm water for the dipping sauce.
  6. Serve the meatballs garnished with sliced green onions, alongside the peanut dipping sauce.
