Instructions

Gather and prep all ingredients.

Mix

In a bowl, combine ground chicken, panko, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, minced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

Shape mixture into 20-24 small meatballs, about 1 inch each.

Cook

Heat olive oil in the skillet. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside (they will finish cooking in the sauce).

Saute

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

Toast

Stir in orzo and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast.

Simmer

Pour in chicken broth, capers, and lemon juice. Stir and bring to a simmer.

Cook

Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and simmer until orzo is tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes making sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add extra broth if the orzo absorbs too much liquid.***

Serve

Stir in butter and fresh parsley for richness and freshness. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with lemon slices and serve hot, straight from the skillet.
