Don’t ask yourself, “What should I cook for dinner tonight?” Instead, make these Greek Chicken Meatballs! They are easy to throw together and make a delicious dinner that everyone loves. I like to add them to a ‘Greek’ plate with lemon herb rice, chopped lettuce, sliced veggies, crumbled feta cheese, and homemade tzatziki sauce for a hearty weeknight dinner.
For this recipe, I use a mixture of ground chicken breasts and thighs for the best flavor and juiciness. The meatballs are flavored with cumin, oregano, red pepper, garlic, red onion, fresh herbs, and lemon zest. Tender and aromatic, these chicken meatballs are a snap to prepare. Just mix all the ingredients together, then roll the meatballs. Grab a large skillet and cook the meatballs in a little olive oil until browned all over and cooked through. Serve and enjoy!
To make the Greek Chicken Meatballs, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 pounds ground chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground oregano, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ¼ cup chopped fresh dill, ¼ cup chopped fresh mint, ¼ cup finely diced red onion, 4 finely minced garlic cloves, and ½ teaspoon lemon zest.
Using your hands, mix until just combined.
Using a cookie dough scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out the chicken mixture and use your hands to roll into meatballs.
When all the meatballs are shaped, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the meatballs to the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165 ℉. Cook in batches if needed.
Serve the meatballs over cooked rice, chopped romaine lettuce, crumbled feta, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
