Thai Chicken Meatballs with Peanut Sauce

I swear this isn’t turning into a food-only blog even though it might seem that way lately. I’ve just been getting a little bit more creative with my cooking lately (ever since starting Faster Way to Fat Loss), and sharing a lot of what I’ve been making/eating over on Instagram. As a result, many of you have been requesting recipes, and since one of my main goals for this space is to share stuff that people will be interested in reading, I am happy to oblige.

These Thai chicken meatballs kind of happened by accident one night. I was craving noodles drenched in Thai peanut sauce, but it was a low carb day for me according to FWTFL. I decided that my noodle of choice was going to be spaghetti squash, and that the rest of my family would have rice noodles, but that I could certainly adapt a simple recipe for Thai peanut sauce to make it slightly healthier. I happened to have some ground chicken on hand and decided it might be fun to put an Asian spin on spaghetti and meatballs by serving a Thai chicken style meatball with the peanut sauce, over the noodles. The dish was a success, and everyone in my family gobbled it up, even my pickiest eaters!

For the sauce

1. 1 can (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk (full fat is best)
2. 1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
3. 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
4. 3 Tbs. coconut aminos
5. 1/3 cup coconut sugar
6. 2 Tbs. white vinegar
7. 1/2 cup water
8. 1/4 tsp. sesame oil

For the meatballs

1. 1 pound of ground chicken
2. 1 egg
3. 1/4 cup of almond flour
4. 1 clove of garlic minced
5. 2 green onions, chopped
6. 2 Tbs of the peanut sauce
7. S&P to taste

For the sauce

1. 1. Combine all ingredients except sesame oil in a medium saucepan and bring to a very gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
2. 2. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes over low heat (be careful not to let the mixture scorch at the bottom of the pot).
3. 3. Remove from heat, stir in sesame oil, and let the sauce thicken for at least 5 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.

For the meatballs

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
2. 2. In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients until they are well combined.
3. 3. Form the mixture into 1 inch balls (I like to use a small ice cream scoop for this) and place them on the baking sheet.
4. 4. Bake for about 30 minutes.
5. 5. Serve over noodle of choice, topped with peanut sauce and use chopped peanuts and scallions as an optional garnish.
