Chicken Piccata Meatballs image

The classic chicken piccata entree is my favorite dish, but I wanted another way to have all the same flavors. These chicken piccata meatballs are the perfect solution, whether served alone or with a sauce like marinara or buffalo! Serve over buttered noodles if you'd like, or stick toothpicks in them for appetizers. -Dawn Collins, Rowley, Massachusetts

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of chicken and meatballs seems a little strange to me.
