Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/3 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 red onion, very finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Add the ground chicken, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, fresh parsley, fresh mint, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and the zest of a lemon to large bowl.
- Combine thoroughly.
- Next roll about 1 tbsp sized scoops of the meat mixture into balls. I like to place the rolled meatballs on a parchment paper lined plate or tray while I roll the rest.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet or pan on the stover over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the pan.
- Sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Next reduce to heat and cover the pan for another 5 minutes to cook the greek meatballs fully through.
- Serve the meatballs with greek salad, homemade tzatziki sauce, and extra feta cheese. Enjoy!
