Chicken Piccata Meatballs offer a delightful twist on the classic Italian dish, combining tender ground chicken meatballs with a zesty lemon-caper sauce. This flavorful recipe is both easy to prepare and sure to satisfy your taste buds.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, Italian seasoning, paprika, minced garlic, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined.
With damp hands, form the mixture into meatballs, each about 1 heaping tablespoon in size.
Roll each meatball in additional breadcrumbs to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Sear the meatballs, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, approximately 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
Stir in capers and lemon juice.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
