Garlic Butter Chicken Meatballs
These delicious Garlic Butter Chicken Meatballs are easy to make, low-carb, and keto-friendly, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal!
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Small Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese the powdered kind
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced, for meatballs
- ½ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic grated, for the sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Use a fork or your hands to mix just until combined, without overworking the meat.
- Scoop the mixture into 12 equal portions (a small cookie scoop works perfectly!) and roll each into a neat ball. Arrange them evenly on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes until they're cooked through and lightly golden.
- While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Be careful not to let it boil or simmer.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated garlic and fresh lemon juice. Give it a taste and add a pinch of salt and pepper if you like.
- Once the meatballs are out of the oven, spoon that delicious garlic butter sauce generously over them. Serve hot and savor your healthy, flavorful meal!
