PAD THAI CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Thai inspired chicken meatballs baked and drowned in a delicious creamy peanut sauce served over white rice.

I love Thai food. Of course, I love all food but especially spicy full-flavored dishes. Red curry is one of my favorite ingredients. The thought of mixing red curry, peanut butter, and coconut milk in the same bowl does sound kind of strange. But, it’s very delicious.

Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until done.
