Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ¼ cup crushed pork rinds (look for a brand with minimal ingredients)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- ¼ onion, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, pork rinds, cheese, garlic, salt, & pepper.
- Form into 36 balls & place on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter & sauté the meatballs until golden brown all over. You may need to do this in batches. Transfer browned meatballs to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion & sauté for 1 minute or until translucent. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Whisk in the remaining butter, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the meatballs & toss to coat.
