Chicken Piccata Meatballs
Serves: 4 • Prep: 20 minutes • Cook: 20 minutes • Total: ~40 minutes
Ingredients
For the meatballs
1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
For the piccata sauce
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp capers, drained
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp flour mixed with 2 tbsp water, or 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1–2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for a silkier sauce)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For serving
Lemon slices or wedges
Extra parsley
Mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables
Instructions
Make the meatball mixture
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, panko, egg, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix just until combined.
Form into 14–16 meatballs.
Brown the meatballs
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatballs and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning often, until golden on most sides. They do not need to be fully cooked yet.
Transfer to a plate.
Start the piccata sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth, lemon juice, capers, and Dijon mustard.
Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
Thicken the sauce
Stir in the flour slurry or cornstarch slurry.
Simmer 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
If you want a slightly creamier look like the photo, stir in 1–2 tbsp heavy cream.
Finish cooking
Return the meatballs and any juices to the skillet.
Spoon sauce over them, cover loosely, and simmer 6–8 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.
Finish and serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve with lemon slices and extra sauce spooned over the top.
Tips
Ground chicken is soft, so lightly oil your hands when rolling the meatballs.
Don’t overmix or the meatballs can turn dense.
For a stronger piccata flavor, add a little extra lemon zest at the end.
If you love capers, add an extra spoonful for more salty-briny punch.
Optional add-ins
A handful of baby spinach stirred into the sauce
A little extra Parmesan in the meatball mix
Crushed red pepper for a subtle kick

I can’t believe what I’m living through. At some point we have to acknowledge that the median American voter is braindead and equally responsible for this evil simply by being too lazy to open a fucking book.
