Directions Nutty Chicken Meatballs with Lemon Sauce
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Mix chicken, 1/2 cup almonds, 1 egg, lemon juice, mustard powder, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Roll mixture into 12 balls using floured hands to prevent sticking.
Beat remaining egg in a bowl. Combine remaining 1 1/2 cups almonds and bread crumbs in a bowl. Roll meatballs in beaten egg and then in almond mixture and place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat broth in a saucepan over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Whisk cream cheese into broth and gently heat while beating until smooth. Add lemon juice, parsley, and chives. Keep lemon sauce warm until meatballs are done.
Serve meatballs with lemon sauce.
