In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt, garlic, and lemon zest.
Use 2 T. of the mixture, to roll into balls, using all of the meat mixture.
Heat a large sauté skillet over medium-high heat; add oil.
Once hot, add meatballs, turning them every few minutes to ensure even cooking. Cook for about 6 minutes; remove meatballs from the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the butter and garlic. Once melted, whisk in flour. Slowly whisk in chicken broth; add capers, caper brine, and lemon juice. Simmer sauce for 6-7 minutes; it will thicken as it cooks.
Add meatballs back into the skillet; cook for about 5-6 minutes, until sauce thickens. Carefully stir and spoon sauce over meatballs.
Serve meatballs alone, in a sub sandwich or over pasta or rice.
