Number Of Ingredients 10

24 to 36 cherry tomatoes - number needed depends on size of tomatoes
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 cup sliced or slivered almonds, lightly toasted
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mango chutney, chopping any large pieces of mango
1 tablespoon curry powder (or more, depending on how strong your curry powder is)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the non-stem ends off the tomatoes. Remove core and seeds (I use a grapefruit spoon or the small end of a melon baller). Place tomatoes upside down on paper towels to drain.

  • Lightly season prepared tomatoes with salt and pepper. Spoon in the chicken mixture. Garnish with finely chopped green onion. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.

CURRY CHICKEN MEATBALLS



Curry Chicken Meatballs image

My favorite Indian takeout dish is chicken curry, so I was inspired to take some of its flavors and mix them into another of my go-to dishes, meatballs. I use ground chicken, cilantro, cumin and curry powder, plus a touch of lime zest and some jalapeno for heat. The recipe makes plenty of meatballs, so if you're lucky you'll have some leftover for a lunch the next day.

Provided by Stuart O'Keeffe

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 red onion, quartered
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus extra for the onion
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped, plus more for serving
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the onion and enough olive oil to coat together on a small sheet pan and roast in the oven until browned and soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the panko, cilantro, egg, garlic, jalapeno, lime zest, cumin, curry powder, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken and combine all the ingredients until everything is well mixed.
  • Form the meatballs with a #50 (.68-ounce) ice-cream scoop or by heaping tablespoons and place on a sheet pan. Round the meatballs gently by hand.
  • Heat the 2 teaspoons oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice with the roasted onion and more cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before making the chicken balls. This will help prevent any potential foodborne illnesses.
  • You can use any type of curry powder that you like. If you want a milder curry, use a mild curry powder. If you want a spicier curry, use a hot curry powder.
  • If you don't have any curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, garlic, and fenugreek, to taste.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken balls. If they are overcooked, they will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the chicken balls with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for chicken balls include sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you have some leftover chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
