Description

Chicken Piccata Meatballs are a zesty twist on the classic Italian dish, featuring tender chicken meatballs simmered in a lemony caper sauce. Perfect served over pasta, rice, or vegetables.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Extra chopped parsley and lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
  4. To the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
  5. Stir in butter until melted, then return meatballs to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish with extra parsley and lemon slices if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized meatballs.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated—flavor improves over time.
  • Serve over angel hair pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed veggies.
