Ingredients

  • 20 All Purpose Chicken Meatballs recipe link in post
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • 3.5 oz capers drained, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese plus more for topping

Corn starch slurry

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter, olive oil, and garlic together, stirring until all the butter is melted and bubbly. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth.

  2. In a small measuring cup or bowl, whisk the corn starch slurry ingredients together until all of the corn starch is dissolved. Whisk the slurry into the large skillet, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk in lemon juice, fresh grated parm, plenty of black pepper, and salt to taste.

  3. Stir in drained and rinsed capers, and the All Purpose Chicken Meatballs. Simmer until meatballs are heated through. Serve alongside your favorite veggies, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or pasta!

Recipe Notes

Meatballs can be frozen or thawed, they will just take longer to heat through from a frozen state. I often throw them in a bowl with a splash of water and microwave for a couple minutes to quicken the process.
