Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Tzatziki sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, parsley, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meat balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
  5. While baking, prepare tzatziki sauce by combining yogurt with grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Serve hot with tzatziki sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

  •  Chill the formed meat balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape.
  •  Fresh herbs will enhance flavor compared to dried ones; use them whenever possible.
  •  Feel free to substitute ground turkey for chicken if preferred.
