CHICKEN MEATBALLS AND SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Meatballs and Spicy Peanut Sauce image

This dish turned out perfect with my minor additions in order to suit our tastes, adding the optional "heat" of Sambal Oelek, which I would strongly recommend. The coconut milk tends to lessen the intensity of the heat. I did not use low sodium products as originally suggested, but it's an option. Mixture is very wet to work with. You may want to spray your hands with oil to prevent the meat from sticking to your hands. I got 20 medium size meatballs using a 1/8 cup measure. Recipe by: Family Circle Magazine, April 2013

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, I used a combo of fresh and dry
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste this adds heat
1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger, divided 1 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup light coconut milk, I used regular
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter, I used plain
1 cup chicken broth, low sodium if desired
2 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium if desired
1 -2 tablespoon sambal oelek, for added heat (to taste)
2 tablespoons cilantro (to garnish)
2 tablespoons scallions, sliced for garnish
3 cups cooked basmati rice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine onion*, red pepper*, cilantro, egg, salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon of the ginger, then add bread crumbs and chicken, combine well with spoon or hands. *I pulsed the pepper and onion in the food processor until fine, then used a paper towel blotting to remove excess moisture.
  • Mix well and form into 20 meatballs. I used a 1/8 C measure or medium cookie scoop.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add half the meatballs and brown on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes total; remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, if necessary, and remaining meatballs; set aside. Drain off any excess oil.
  • In same pan, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, chicken broth, soy sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ginger and Sambal Oelek if using. Stir constantly over medium heat to melt peanut butter.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add meatballs to sauce, cover pan and cook 5 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through. I let them simmer for about 30 minutes. Check for seasoning.
  • Serve meatballs and peanut sauce over rice. Garnish with cilantro and green onion, if desired.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Stir-Fry with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 knob ginger, grated (to equal about 1 tablespoon)
5 large cloves garlic, grated
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons canola oil
12 to 15 small red radishes, quartered, plus 1 loose cup radish greens, coarsely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup frozen peas
Zest and juice from 1 small lime

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
  • Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
  • In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 serving cooking spray
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups diced onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) jar tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup water
3 tablespoons salted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
  • Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, olive oil, onion, ginger paste, garlic, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Roll mixture into thirty 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger paste; saute until onions become soft, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, garam masala, cumin, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon, chicken bouillon, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, onion powder, and salt; stir to combine. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and water. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add butter and stir to melt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Ground chicken breast is a lean option, while ground chicken thigh is more flavorful. You can also use a combination of both.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the meatballs will taste.
  • Don't overmix the meatballs. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly. The internal temperature of the meatballs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the meatballs hot. The meatballs are best served hot, with the spicy peanut sauce.

Conclusion:

These chicken meatballs with spicy peanut sauce are a delicious and easy appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The meatballs are juicy and flavorful, and the spicy peanut sauce is the perfect complement. If you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give these chicken meatballs with spicy peanut sauce a try.
