Greek Chicken Meatballs
I eat Greek salad with chicken every single day for lunch. For some reason, I never get sick of it! I decided to switch things up this week, but only slightly. I took all of the traditional Greek flavors and rolled them into a healthy meatball! I plan to eat these on pita with cucumber, tomato, red onion, avocado, and hummus!
The zucchini makes the meatballs extra moist without any added flavor. If you don’t like zucchini, you won’t even notice it!
Ingredients (5 servings):
1lb lean ground chicken
1 zucchini, grated and drained of liquid
1 garlic clove, diced
3 scallions, finely chopped
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 Tbl fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Dash of red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients together well.
Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Roll meatballs into 1 inch balls. I got 21 meatballs out of one recipe (one to taste!). Bake for 20 minutes on the top rack.
Let meatballs cool for salads or eat them hot!
Enjoy :)
