Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs Ground Chicken (*turkey works well here too!)
  • 1/2 cup Italian-style Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 tbsp Capers
  • 2 Lemons (We'll use the juice for garnish)
  • 6-7 sprigs Fresh Dill, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Parsley
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

For the Meatballs:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a bowl, add the meat, egg, breadcrumbs, and seasonings listed above and mix well. I prefer to use my hand here to mix, but you can use a spatula or fork to get everything together.
  • Next, spray a baking pan with oil, and begin adding the meatballs. You should take a small spoon full of the mixture, roll it in your hands, then place it on the pan. There should be enough of the mixture to make 16 evenly-sized balls. Be sure to leave space between the meatballs in the pan.
  • Pop the meatballs into the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. I like turning them over halfway for browning on both sides!
  • Once they're done, pull them out of the oven, garnish with lemon juice and serve warm with pasta or as an appetizer!
