Cuisine American, Italian
- 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
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!
