Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs
There's so much to love about these Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs! Mix up the chicken meatball mixture ahead of time and stir together the Thai Coconut Curry Sauce in an instant. And then scoop and bake the meatballs for a mere 15 minutes while you heat up the sauce and gather an array of favorite accompaniments (noodles, edamame, red pepper strips, baby corn, what else?), assemble, sauce and enjoy!
