Creating Chicken Piccata Meatballs is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer.
6. Add Meatballs: Once the sauce is simmering, gently add the baked meatballs to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Finish with Butter: Stir in the butter until melted and combined with the sauce.
