Steps:
- 1. For the meatballs, your choice, freshly made, baked, or frozen (thawed).
- 2. Heat a pot of salted water to a boil, when boiling, add the spaghetti and cook until tender. Drain. While the water is heating you can proceed on with the rest of the steps.
- 3. In a non stick pan, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, your choice, when hot, brown the meatballs. Work in batches if needed and as they are browned, remove to a plate and set them aside. (I used my baked chicken meatballs.)
- 4. Reduce the heat to medium and wipe out the pan, add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the flour and mix into the butter, whisk constantly and cook for about 1 minute, now add the broth, lemon or lime juice, and the whipping cream, and whisk together.
- 5. When the sauce is at a simmer, add the meatballs. Simmer for 5-8 minutes or until the sauce is starting to thicken, if using freshly made meatballs, check one to make sure it is cooked through. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- 6. When the sauce is thickened as desired, stir in the drained capers, let cook 1 more minute, remove from heat. (I added some chopped White Crab mushrooms as well, but that is just me.)
- 7. Serve over cooked pasta of your choice and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic or free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
- Grind the chicken yourself: If possible, grind the chicken yourself using a food processor or meat grinder. This ensures a finer texture and better control over the ingredients.
- Season the chicken well: Don't skimp on the seasonings. A flavorful combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano will enhance the taste of the meatballs.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley and basil add a burst of flavor to the meatballs. Chop them finely and add them at the end of the cooking process to preserve their delicate aromas.
- Don't overcook the meatballs: Overcooked meatballs become tough and dry. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. This saves time and allows the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Chicken piccata meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or party snack. With a crispy exterior, tender interior, and flavorful piccata sauce, these meatballs are sure to be a hit.
