Mix together with your hands and form into 2 tablespoon-sized balls.
Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Cook the meatballs for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the meatballs are cooking start making the sauce.
In a large 12-inch skillet add dry white wine, butter, and lemon juice.
Simmer over medium-high heat until the mixture has cooked down to a syrupy consistency.
Whisk in chicken stock and simmer until the sauce has cooked down by half.

Serve warm.
