Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For Tzatziki: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • For Tzatziki: 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • For Tzatziki: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For Tzatziki: 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • For Tzatziki: Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, parsley, mint, minced garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush the tops of the meatballs lightly with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meatballs are golden brown.
  6. While the meatballs bake, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
  7. Serve the hot Greek chicken meatballs immediately with the cool tzatziki sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, confirm your ground chicken contains no fillers. These meatballs are naturally low-carb.
  • If you prefer pan-frying, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs, turning often, until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).
  • Serve these meatballs over lemon orzo or a bed of romaine lettuce for a complete meal.
