Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and black pepper
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ – ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice adjust to taste
- ¼ cup capers drained
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Place Meatball ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. If it’s too wet to form balls, add a touch of extra breadcrumbs or refrigerate.
- Scoop up a heaped tablespoon and with slightly wet hands, roll into balls.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add half the meatballs and cook for 4 minutes, browning all over but still raw inside. Remove onto a plate, repeat with remaining meatballs.
- Wipe skillet clean with paper towel. Reduce heat to medium.
- Melt butter in skillet, then add flour. Mix and cook for 1 minute, then add lemon juice, chicken broth and cream.
- Bring to simmer then add meatballs. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir through parsley and capers. I like serving this with pasta with more parmesan cheese!
Notes
- To make this with milk instead of cream, just add an extra 1 tablespoon of flour into the butter, plus add 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan into the sauce. This will thicken the sauce nicely, it will taste fantastic and is a healthier option!
