Thai Chili Chicken Meatballs

*Dairy & Gluten Free

This is currently my favorite recipe - Thai Chili Chicken Meatballs with a spicy peanut sauce. It's flavorful, delicious, super easy to make, and it's husband approved! It takes just about 10 minutes to put together, 15 minutes to bake, and it only lasts about two days in our house. They are so scrumptious!

Originally, I found this recipe on SimplyGlutenFree.com, which is full of wonderful options for anyone who has celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity. After making these the first time, I tweaked a few things to better fit our taste buds.

RECIPE

MEATBALLS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

In a blender or food processor, blend the crackers into fine crumbs.

Pour the crackers into a large mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Shape into small balls using about 1 or 2 tablespoons of mixture per ball and place on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. 

Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees or until the meatballs are browned. 

SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Combine all the ingredients in small mixing bowl and mix well.

If the sauce is lumpy, which is probably will be, microwave for about 10-20 seconds and stir until smooth.

​Serve with the chicken meatballs. Enjoy!! 

NOTES

  • We ran out of crackers the last time I made this recipe, so instead I used two pieces of gluten free bread.
  • You can substitute the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or almond butter, whichever you prefer. 
  • If you are not a fan of spicy, feel free to use less red pepper flakes and cut out the cayenne pepper. I've been adding more and more red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper each time I make this recipe though. So good! 
  • If you are not on a gluten free diet, switch out those specific items with regular ingredients.
