Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs It's time meatballs got an upgrade. Coconut milk lends a slightly sweet taste, while red curry paste and chili flakes add the right amount of spice. Serve over cauliflower rice for a tasty and filling meal.

Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
1/2 cup roughly chopped carrots
1/4 red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons freeze dried cilantro
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons basil
1 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon each sea salt and pepper
1 pound ground chicken

For the Sauce:
1 can coconut milk
1 teablespoon red curry paste
1 tablespoon almond butter

Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place all the meatball ingredients, except for the chicken, into a high-powered blender or food processor and pulse until chopped. Add the chicken and mix well. Roll the mixture into 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch balls and place them on a lined or greased pan. Bake for 20 minutes, roll the meatballs over and bake them for an additional 15.

To make the sauce: Heat the coconut milk in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the meatballs to the sauce, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over cauliflower rice.
