Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ¼ cup onion (minced)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)

Instructions
 

  • Gather and prep all ingredients.
  • In a bowl, combine ground chicken, panko, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, minced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Shape mixture into 20-24 small meatballs, about 1 inch each.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside (they will finish cooking in the sauce).
  • Add orzo, broth, lemon juice, and butter to the same skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until orzo is tender, stirring often. Add meatballs back to the skillet and cook until heated through.
