Thai Chicken Meatballs

Ground chicken blended with some fresh Thai flavors, these are a great appetizer, or snack!

We are a house that loves MEATBALLS. Typically, we use ground beef, pork or even sausage and douse them in marinara sauce, and serve over pasta. This is a different take on your traditional meatball, adding in lemongrass and cilantro, and using chicken rather than beef/pork. You could make your own dipping sauce, but I like to keep it super simple and use a store bought sweet chilli sauce (called Mae Ploy) Great to make ahead, or freeze – these are a great appetizer!
