Cut: Ground chicken
Ingredients
1 lb (454 g) ground chicken
½ cup (125 ml) panko crumbs
2 Tbsp (30 ml) mayonnaise
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1 tsp (5 ml) pepper
1 tsp (5 ml) garam masala
½ tsp (2.5 ml) turmeric
½ tsp (2.5 ml) ground coriander
1 tsp (5 ml) fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups (500 ml) prepared butter chicken sauce
2 Tbsp (30 ml) fresh cilantro, chopped
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 F.
In a large bowl mix ground chicken, panko, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garam masala, turmeric, coriander, ginger, and garlic. Form into 1-inch balls, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 390F for 8 minutes. Check meatballs are cooked, internal temperature on a meat thermometer should read 165 F (74 C).
Transfer chicken meatballs to a saucepan, add butter chicken sauce and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Top with chopped cilantro and serve with grilled naan bread as an appetizer. Or serve over basmati rice and side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
To prevent ground chicken mixture from sticking, coat hands with a few drops of vegetable oil before forming balls.
