Greek Chicken Meatballs

Greek chicken meatballs are a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, a main course, or even as part of a mezze platter. They are a fantastic way to enjoy the flavors of Greece in a healthy and convenient way. Give this recipe a try, and bring a little bit of the Mediterranean to your dinner table.

To make Greek chicken meatballs, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken

1/2 cup panko 

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tbsp Greek Freak seasoning (worth every penny!)

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 eggs

Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your meatballs cook evenly and to perfection.

Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, and Greek Freak seasoning. Add the beaten egg and mix everything together until well combined. You can use your hands for this step to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. It’s the easiest in my opinion, even though I don’t love the feeling of raw meat.

Form the meatballs: Using your cookie scoop, scoop the meatballs onto a baking sheet. This recipe should yield approximately 16-20 meatballs depending on size of your scoop.

Bake the meatballs: Put the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until meatballs are slightly browned.

Serve and enjoy: Once the meatballs are done, let them cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with tzatziki sauce, a Greek salad, or some warm pita bread.

Tips for Success

Don’t overmix: When combining the ingredients, be careful not to overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can lead to tough meatballs.

Make-ahead option: You can make the meatballs ahead of time and freeze them. Just shape the meatballs and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag. When ready to cook, thaw and follow the cooking instructions.
