Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients.
  • In a large fry pan, add about 2 tbsp of oil and cook all of the meatballs on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, browning all sides. Meatballs do not need to be fully cooked because they will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • Set meatballs aside in a bowl
  • Wipe out the pan, and begin to make your sauce.
  • Add white wine to the pan on medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, juice of 1 lemon, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil
  • Lower the heat to medium and add back all of the meatballs.
  • Add the butter. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  • While meatballs are finishing cooking, create an arrowroot slurry by adding 1tbsp of arrowroot flour and 2 tbsp of water to a small bowl. Mix until fully combined.
  • Turn the heat to low on the meatballs, and create space to pour in the arrowroot slurry. Whisk the area where you poured it in.
  • Mix the contents of the pan. Once you see the sauce thicken, turn the heat off and enjoy!
