Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken

• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp capers, drained
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
