Baked Chicken Meatballs

These Baked Chicken Meatballs are a healthy, delicious, Greek-inspired dish that uses simple ingredients and comes together quickly and easily. Just mix, roll, and bake. Yes, that’s easy! The meatballs are seasoned with classic Greek flavors including oregano, mint, and garlic to create these juicy and tender bites. These delicious Greek chicken meatballs can go with any pasta, roasted veggies, or mashed potatoes. I like to serve them with a homemade Greek yogurt sauce and garnished with crumbled feta cheese and chopped cucumber.

Personally, I like chunks and texture in my meatballs when it comes to the onion, which is why I prefer to use finely minced fresh onion for the best results. But if you love chunkless meatballs and have onion powder sitting among your spices, that is a great substitute. Use ½ a teaspoon of onion powder instead of fresh.

To make the Baked Chicken Meatballs, you will need the following ingredients:
