Garlic Butter Chicken Meatballs • Low Carb with Jennifer

Meatballs are such an underrated dinner, in my opinion. These garlic butter meatballs are so full of flavor and very simple to make.

You may think that making meatballs are time consuming, but it really is a simple process and baking them in the oven really makes them go more quickly. I like to scoop these garlic butter meatballs using a kitchen scoop to make the process even easier!

How to make garlic butter chicken meatballs

First we mix all of our meatball ingredients in a large bowl. I use a fork to keep from overworking the meatball mixture.

Second I scoop the mixture out onto a lined sheet pan using a food disher to make 12 meatballs.

Roll each portion onto a tight ball and place evenly on the sheet pan. Bake in a 400F oven for about 20 minutes.

While the meatballs are baking, I make the garlic butter sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat, being careful to not let it simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and grate the garlic into the sauce.

Finally we spoon the garlic butter sauce over the meatballs and serve.
