Greek Chicken Meatballs
Total Time:30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small red onion finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, feta, parsley, dill, garlic, red onion, oregano, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and egg. Use your hands (it’s fun!) to mix everything until just combined.
  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls—about 20 meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  • Pile onto a platter, squeeze a little lemon over the top, and sprinkle with extra herbs if you like. Enjoy with tzatziki, pita, or a simple salad!
