Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped parsley, panko breadcrumbs, grated onion, crumbled feta cheese, egg, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Gently fold the ground chicken into the meatball mixture, ensuring an even blend without overworking.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 24-28 meatballs, ensuring uniform size and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the meatballs for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Transfer the seared meatballs to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté minced garlic.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour to form a roux and cook until golden.
- Slowly pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, whisking to prevent lumps, and thicken the sauce.
- Beat together 2 egg yolks, temper with hot sauce, and return to the skillet while stirring.
- Season with nutmeg, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, then incorporate green olives and return the meatballs to coat in the sauce.
