Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Butter Chicken Meatballs with Zoodles.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together ground chicken, half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese, a beaten egg, two minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper, then mix until well combined.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into meatballs, each about the size of a tablespoon.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then gently place the meatballs in the skillet.
Step 5
Cook them until they achieve a golden-brown exterior and are no longer pink inside, which should take around ten minutes.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a plate and carefully wipe the skillet with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 7
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add the remaining three minced garlic cloves, sautéing until fragrant, about one minute.
Step 8
Toss in the zucchini noodles, allowing them to soak up the garlic butter, then squeeze in fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
Step 9
Return the meatballs to the skillet, warming everything together until heated through.
Step 10
Serve your delightful dish garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 11
Enjoy this flavorful meal that brings a taste of comfort to your table!.
