- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs

Directions:
- Mix together garlic, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Add ground chicken. Gently mix to combine. Form into small meatballs, about the size of a ping pong ball.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Add meatballs to the pan and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then turn and cook for another 3 minutes or until the meatballs are brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
- To make the sauce, add all of the ingredients to a saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and top with chopped parsley.
