Recipes:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the Lemon Butter Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup water
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
Prepare the Meatballs: In a bowl, mix ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Form into small
meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the
skillet and set aside.
Make the Lemon Butter Orzo: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the orzo, chicken broth, water, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, gently stirring to coat with the lemon butter orzo.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
