Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a medium baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, red curry paste, honey, lime juice, chicken broth, and chili flakes until smooth.
- Pour about two thirds of the sauce into the prepared baking dish.
- Shape the chicken mixture into small dumplings, about 1 1/2 inches wide, and place them in a single layer in the sauce.
- Spoon the remaining sauce over the dumplings.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
- Broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end if you want a slightly more golden top.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, extra green onions, and additional chili flakes before serving.
- Serve hot over jasmine rice, rice noodles, or vegetables.
Notes
- Chill the filling for 10 minutes if it feels too soft to shape.
- Add a splash of broth or warm water if the sauce becomes too thick.
- A squeeze of fresh lime just before serving brightens the whole dish.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
