Marsala Mushroom Chicken Meatballs
  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in olive oil and heat it until very hot. Add sage leaves and fry them until crisp, about 1 minute per side. Using tongs, transfer the sage leaves to a plate lined with paper towels. Take the skillet off the heat, keeping the oil in the pan.

  2. 2

    Combine ground chicken, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into balls using an ice cream scoop, a tablespoon, or your hands.

  3. 3

    Reheat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and shallot and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir the chicken broth, Marsala wine, butter, and arrowroot flour into the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring once, until the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
