Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f.
Prepare the ingredients: Mince 1/2 cup onion, 4 cloves garlic, shred 1/4 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese1 egg and squeeze 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
Combine 1 pound ground chicken, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano parmesan cheese, oregano, onions and two cloves of chopped garlic to a bowl.
Once the ingredients are combined, add the egg and mix everything together.
If the mixture is too soft to shape into meatballs, place the meat it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, form the chilled chicken mixture into meatballs that are about 1 1/2 inches in size.
Arrange the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them for 15 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce. Add the oil to a skillet and cook the garlic over medium heat until it begins to soften.
Stir in the wine and chicken broth and reduce the heat to low.
Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce along with the capers and simmer on low for 10 to 15 minutes longer.
TIPS
- Wet your hands right before shaping the meat mixture to prevent the meat from sticking to your hands while rolling the meatballs.
- For more lemon flavor, stir in a teaspoon or two of lemon zest.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk in a tablespoon of flour or arrowroot powder to thicken the sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for four months.
