Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 pound zucchini noodles
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Mix ground chicken, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, and red pepper flakes together in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper and form into tablespoon-sized meatballs.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs until golden brown on all sides and no longer pink in center, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe the skillet with a paper towel.

Step 3
Melt butter in the same skillet; add remaining 3 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss into garlic butter; squeeze in lemon juice. Add meatballs and heat just until warmed through. Garnish with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve.
