Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, panko, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined. Form into 16-18 meatballs using a cookie scoop.
- Place meatballs evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly crisp.
- While the meatballs bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add garam masala, curry powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, cayenne (if using), coconut milk, water, and tomato paste. Whisk to combine and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to thicken.
- Stir in Greek yogurt and butter until melted and smooth.
- Add baked meatballs to the sauce, stir to coat, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve hot with rice or naan.
