Instructions:

Prepare the Meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

Form the Meatballs:
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.

Cook the Meatballs:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add Cream and Seasoning:
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine Meatballs and Sauce:
Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet, gently tossing them in the creamy herb sauce until well coated.

Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over pasta, rice, or enjoy on their own. Enjoy your garlic butter chicken meatballs with lemon creamy herb sauce!
