Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces ground chicken
2 cups finely chopped almonds, divided
2 eggs, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon curry powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
⅔ cup chicken broth
1 cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • 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.
