Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 500 g ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1 small grated onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
For Serving (Optional)
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, parsley, mint, grated onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs to the bowl. Mix again until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get about 20-24 meatballs.
  5. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Serve the Greek chicken meatballs warm with lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce, if desired.

Notes

You can adjust the herbs and spices to your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. These meatballs can also be pan-fried or grilled.
