Thai basil chicken meatballs

Thai basil chicken meatballs

So I was craving thai basil chicken but costco hasnt had boneless thighs for some time so the only boneless meat was chicken breasts and i really don’t find it too appetizing,so i decided to make that into meatballs so it is juicy and not dry white meat😳

Plus I try to add as many veggies to my cooking as I can ,so some of them is not traditional in thai food
