Ingredients

Chicken Meatballs

2 pounds ground chicken
1 large egg
1/2 cup pork rind crumbs or see notes above for swaps
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil or olive oil

Piccata Sauce

1.5 cups chicken bone broth
4 cloves garlic minced
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup capers with juice
1/2 teaspoon gluocomannan optional to thicken
1/4 cup fresh parsley to garnish optional
1/2 lemon optional

Instructions

Meatballs

Mix the egg with dry seasonings, lemon zest, pork rind crumbs, and fresh parsley together in a large bowl. Once combined, mix in the chicken.
Use a large cookie scoop to make 24 meatballs. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet pan.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Place half the meatballs into the skillet and cook until browned. Remove, keep warm, then continue with remaining meatballs and remove. Please note, meatballs will not be fully cooked at this point.

Sauce

To the same skillet you cooked the meatballs in, pour in all the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer while scraping bits from bottom of skillet. Cook about 5-8 minutes until sauce thickens. Option to thicken quicker is to add gluocamannan.
Once sauce is thickened to your liking, nestle the meatballs back in the sauce. Spoon sauce over the meatballs and cook about 5-8 minutes to finish cooking meatballs through. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
When ready to serve, squirt some lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley over the meatballs.
