In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, 2 garlic cloves, egg, cheese, parsley and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Use a tablespoon or a small scoop to form into meatballs.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook meatballs until golden on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter; cover with foil to keep warm; use paper towels to wipe out skillet.
Melt butter in skillet; add remaining garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; add zoodles to skillet; toss in garlic butter; squeeze in lemon juice. Add meatballs back into skillet; heat just until warmed through.
