Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 jar capers, drained
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • Shredded Parmesan and lemon wedges

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. With wet hands, shape into 1-inch balls.

  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium heat. Brown meatballs in batches; drain. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp. oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add broth and wine to pan; increase heat to medium-high. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Add the capers and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Add meatballs. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, until the meatballs are cooked through, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in butter until melted. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve with lemon wedges.
