Whenever I have a little bit of time to work in the kitchen, this is one of my favorite meals to make. The meatballs take a little bit of time to put together, but otherwise these are really easy to make. It’s a nice change from the ground beef version of meatballs that we are so used to. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes so that we have a way to eat up all the yummy sauce. A nice dinner roll will do the same trick though! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Spend With Pennies:
“The sauce is so good, you’ll want it on tap!”
You won’t be able to get enough of this sauce. Even without the meatballs…it’s incredible!
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1 egg
¾ cup breadcrumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup Kraft grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp Land O’ Lakes butter
1 tbsp Gold Medal all purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
¼ – ⅓ cup lemon juice (adjust to taste)
¼ cup capers, drained
Salt and 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 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 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!
