Description
Golden, tender and packed with bright lemon flavor, these baked lemon chicken meatballs are the kind of recipe that quietly becomes a staple. They come together quickly, bake up in under 25 minutes and work with just about anything. Serve them with pasta, rice, vegetables or your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup shredded onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. To a large bowl add all of the ingredients.
- Use a fork or clean hands to mix until ingredients are well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about a tablespoon size of the mixture, roll into a ball and place on the sheet pan. This recipe will make about 24-28 meatballs depending on the size you make. I like to keep them fairly small.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden and cooked through.
- Serve with anything! Your favorite dipping sauce, over pasta, rice or with veggies.
