Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 stick butter

- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup capers + 2 tbsp caper brine
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together chicken, parmesan, panko, salt, garlic, and lemon zest.
- Using 2 tbsp of the mixture, roll into balls.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add oil.
- Once hot, add meatballs, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. Cook for 6 minutes, then remove meatballs from the pan.
- In the same pan, add butter and garlic. Once melted, whisk in flour.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth, then add capers, brine, and lemon juice. Simmer sauce for 6-7 minutes; it will thicken as it cooks.
