I love keeping a batch of these in my freezer for an easy weeknight protein option.

Try serving them with steamed broccoli, rice, and lots of fresh herbs like cilantro and thai basil

Thai Chicken Meatballs

Makes 32-26 meatballs

Ingredients:

2 pounds pasture-raised ground chicken (I like Farmer’s Focus, Force of Nature, or Pasture Bird)
2 tbsp minced ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 4 cloves fresh, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
3 Tablespoons coconut aminos

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
Mix all ingredients except the ground chicken together in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken and blend together until just combined.
Using your hands and a tablespoon measure to help portion — make into meatballs and place on a parchment linked baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees

Tips
Make Ahead
I make a big batch of these as meal prep and store extra in my freezer to reheat when I need a quick protein option at lunch or dinner.
MEAL IDEA
Pair these with steamed broccoli or green beans; rice, quinoa, or rice noodles; and lots of fresh herbs like Thai basil and cilantro.
