Salad

Combine ground chicken, egg, almond flour, salt, oregano, basil, dill, onion powder, garlic, pepper and mint in a medium mixing bowl. Stir to fully combine.

Flavor city! I made these for meal prep this week and have really been enjoying them. So tender and the flavors really are so good. I didn’t make the Sauce but next time I’m going to!! Thanks!

This recipe was so delicious! My kids loved the chicken meatballs! The dressing was so good as well. I only wished I made a double batch. Definitely putting this in the dinner rotation!

My whole family loves this recipe (including my picky 2 year old who frequently won’t eat dinner!). I have been doubling the amount for the meatballs so everyone can eat what the want and I still have leftovers for the next day!

So good. Flavorful. Whole family loved it, even my picky daughter. Amazing as Neal prep!

Made this for the first time last night and LOVED it.  First let me say, I didn't use the mint. My personal shopper (husband) didn't get it.  It was still delicious.  It was very easy, since the different parts are prepared separately. I get overwhelmed if there are too many things happening at once.  We ate it all and we used the leftover tzatziki today on salads with other proteins. We'll probably be using it for salads regularly from now on.

Made these tonight for the 3rd or 4th time. They’re amazing!!!! I usually use ground turkey because it’s easier for me to find, but they always turn out flavorful and moist - nobody likes a dry meatball! I always make a double batch because they’re even better the next day. This has become one of my favorite meals to make!

Great recipe! Followed it exactly, and they turned out perfectly! Everyone in the family, including the 5 and 7 year old loved it.

this recipe packed so much flavor! it was delicious!

Absolutely delicious. Just made it today. It’s a keeper. I did make homemade vinaigrette instead of purchasing it.

This is possibly one of the best things I’ve ever made. I used bread crumbs in place of the almond flour and I added fresh mint, green bell pepper and crumbled feta to the salad. I paired this with another recipe I found for Greek lemon rice. I got lazy and used a store bought tzatziki but it all still turned out so good! Better than any restaurant. Will definitely make again!

Delicious and came together quickly and easily.

These meatballs were delicious. I am not doing whole 30 (I probably should lol) but I got the almond flour and primal kitchen green dressing and it tasted great. I even had leftovers for lunch the next day! I was too lazy to make the tzatziki (usually if I make I like it with Greek yogurt, cucumber lemon dill garlic but I assume that is not whole 30 compliant) so I bought some ore made at Aldi and used a little.  Taste great with basmati, olives, feta and cucumber and flat bread too. Thank you for the recipe!!

this meal is so good!!! it's now on repeat in our house. Everything about this meal is perfect.  it's fast, easy and extremely flavorful. Every recipe of Erin's we have made it just delicious!

One of my favorite recipes ever!!! The salad is so refreshing and the meatballs taste AMAZING!!!

Thus was excellent!! My husband devoured it. I made the meatballs with ground turkey thighs and it worked just fine. I added peppers and feta cheese to the salad and it was great too! This will be printed and added to my recipe boo!

AMAZING!! The best meal I've had in a long time! I love to eat at CAVA but this recipe blows their meatballs away.
I'm not on Whole 30 so I added a little feta to the salad.

Loved this meal! What is considered a serving of meatballs? Any idea of calorie count for Taziki sauce and meatballs? So so yummy!!!!

Amazing!  I had to punt because I didn't have Primal Kitchen's Greek Vinaigrette (I googled a compliant greek vinaigrette recipe), but it is still wonderful.  I will definitely make this again. Thank you!

So delicious! I’m so glad I made a double batch so I can enjoy leftovers. Made my own vinaigrette because I didn’t have primal kitchen’s.

This is one of my family’s favorite meals!  My kids love it so much I always make a double batch and it still doesn’t last very long. It is totally worth getting the food processor out for.

This is legit soooo good. And my picky kids ate them up. Bonus! Thanks for a great recipe!!

The meatballs are delicious!  The toss in vinaigrette is genius!  I made a version of the salad with what I had on hand, perfect side!

This is one of our family’s favorites. So yummy and healthy, and easy to prep ahead of time.

So delicious and healthy! it's become a staple of mine.

Such an easy and delicious meal! A big hit with my family. The meatballs were moist with a flavor explosion…well seasoned in all the right ways. Definitely putting this into our rotation.

Absolutely delicious! Will totally make this easy dinner again. Kids and husband enjoyed in a pita!

I made the meatballs only- delicious and easy! Perfect addition to a greek dinner. Really liked the meatballs and they stayed together well.

SO good. So easy to make. I baked the meatballs in the oven for about 18 minutes, then broiled for a couple to get them browned. Thanks for the recipe, Erin!

These meatballs turned out great! I did them in the oven, just for sake of ease, and they turned out well! I loved the salad and your Greek dressing as well. Thanks! 💜💜

Made these today along with your homemade Greek vinaigrette for the salad. Absolutely delicious and SO flavorful!! Already shared the recipe with several people. Will definitely be making these again! So yummy!! Thanks!

I’ve made this before and really enjoyed it. I wanna make it this week but I can’t remember if I added rice or orzo to it. Have you ever done that?

This recipe is straight up delicious! I usually make half recipe for the sauce and I have made it with both ground turkey or lamb-comes out great every time. Thank you for a great recipe!

Tasted delicious,  I air fried them and they came out a little dry... next time I will pan fry, like the recipe said 😞

LOVE these!  Had them last night and could eat them everyday.

These Greek Chicken Meatballs are simply amazing! So delicious.

Easy, delicious. Made it a few times now and my whole family really likes it!

I made this for lunch today and wow! I love making meatballs for meals and quick protein snacks and I’ll be adding these to my regular rotation! The tzatziki sauce too was the best dairy free recipe I’ve found! So much flavor. I used fresh herbs because I had them on hand and it did not disappoint!

These are the absolute best! I love to make a batch over the weekend and add them to my salad during the week.

This was better than I even imagined. I’ve made it twice in one week. Once with ground chicken and then again with ground lamb. So delish!! Followed the recipe exactly.

I’ve made this for so many people and it’s always a hit! 

The meatballs are delish and I love the dairy free tzatziki.

This recipe is a huge hit with my family and so easy. We make it twice a month probably. Thank you!

I made this dish last night. It was so delicious it will be on a weekly rotation. I’m just a green food lover and the flavors are spot on to all the things I crave in Greek food. The fresh mint and dill to name a few.

These meatballs come out perfect every time- and we have made them a ton! I love the lighter/softer texture of the ground chicken along with the plethora of spices, dry and fresh. I have made them sans the Greek dressing and added a bit of oil and vinegar and they still were moist and tender.  The tzatziki is devoured over here - our family drenches the meatballs and doesn’t waste a lick.  The side Greek salad is bright and crunchy which complements the tender meatballs and creamy tzatziki. This is on a bi-weekly rotation b/c family members buy the ingredients to motivate me to make it! Love this, Erin!

Fabulous recipe! So tasty, fast &amp; easy. I’ve made them multiple times both with ground turkey &amp; ground chicken. Highly recommend

Gosh, these are delicious! So much flavor in a little meatball. Love to prep these and have them throughout the week.

Greek Chicken Meatballs - a flavorful and delicious weeknight dinner you will want to make again and again! 

Greek Chicken Meatballs are a light meatball seasoned with lemon zest, garlic, feta cheese, and oregano. Served in a refreshing cucumber yogurt sauce, these are great as dinner or even as a party appetizer. 

For the chicken meatballs1

For the Cucumber Sauce2 dill

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top, spray the baking rack with cooking spray so the meatballs don&#8217;t stick. Prep the cucumber by peeling it, removing the seeds, then grating it on the box grater. Place the shredded cucumber in a strainer in the sink and sprinkle with a little salt. Let this rest for 20 minutes.

While the cucumber is resting, begin to make the meatballs. In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, grated garlic, egg, Panko, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, feta cheese, and lemon zest. Form into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, place on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.

After the cucumber has rested 20 minutes, squeeze as much of the water out as you can, then place into your blender or blending device. Add the yogurts, garlic cloves, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, lemon zest, and dill. Blend until smooth.
To serve, sprinkle the meatballs with more crumbled feta cheese and the cucumber yogurt dipping sauce and enjoy!

These delicious Greek Chicken Meatballs are full of flavor, so easy to make, and are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Serve the meatballs with a generous scoop of homemade tzatziki and your favorite veggies!

cumin

red pepper flakes

fresh dill, chopped

fresh mint, chopped

red onion

garlic, finely minced

lemon zest

olive oil,

chopped romaine

feta,

cucumber

tomato

white rice

tzatziki sauce

Add the meatball ingredients to a small mixing bowl and use your hands to mix until well combined. Next, use a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the chicken mixture and use your hands to form into meatballs.

When the meatballs are formed, heat a large skillet over medium heat and then add a tablespoon of oil. Next add the meatballs to the hot skillet and cook for roughly 3-4 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.

Serve the meatballs over chopped romaine lettuce with feta, cucumber, tomato, rice, and tzatziki sauce.

Tried this for my picky family tonight, they loved it! Will be adding to regular rotation.

This recipe is SO good. Definitely not a weeknight meal, as it takes quite some time to assemble the meatballs, but SO worth it! Next time I make, I think I'll double the meatballs and freeze half. Can't wait to try again!

Truly blown away by how amazing this meal is!  The meatballs have so much flavor. Everything in the bowl tastes so light and fresh.  Excellent weeknight meal!

Easy to make and so, so tasty. I am always worried that meatballs will turn out dry but these were not. Very flavorful and I am very excited for my leftovers today!

These meatballs are delicious! Full of flavor and easy to make. Thanks!

Easy and quick to make and so delicious. One of my favorite meatballs recipes that I’ve ever tried!

We love these! We’ve made them a few times now and they never disappoint. Perfect for a light summer dinner or meal prep!

This recipe for herby Greek chicken meatballs is a perfect example of a quick, delicious, and nutritious weekday meal. Make it in advance for those busy nights and enjoy the leftovers for lunch.

Herby Greek Chicken Meatballs

chicken mince

feta, crumbled

zucchini,

lemon

garlic,

breadcrumbs

fresh mixed herbs (dill, mint, parsley), chopped

Olive oil

couscous

water

(1 Tbsp) chopped dill

olive oil

dill,

cucumber,

red onion, thinly sliced

Salt and pepper

In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, crumbled feta, grated zucchini, lemon zest, egg, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, chopped herbs (dill, mint, parsley), and black pepper.

Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Roll the mixture into 12 golf ball-sized meatballs. Brush or spritz the meatballs with olive oil.

Cook the Meatballs:
In the Air Fryer: Preheat to 205°C. Place the meatballs close to the heating element and cook for 11 minutes, ensuring they get a nice caramelisation.
In the Oven: Preheat to 220°C. Place the meatballs on a baking tray in the top third of the oven (close to the heating element) and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Giant Couscous: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over high heat. Add the giant couscous and lightly fry for 1-2 mins until lightly golden.

Pour in the water and add a pinch of salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the couscous is al dente.

Once cooked, drain any excess water. Stir in 1 tsp of olive oil and chopped dill, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the zested lemon in half and squeeze in roughly 20 ml of juice, stirring to combine.

Place the thinly sliced cucumber and red onion in a bowl.

Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice (about 20 ml).

Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Divide the giant couscous between four serving plates.

Top each plate with a few meatballs and a portion of the cucumber salad.

Drizzle the plate with olive oil and serve immediately.

This has been my favorite recipe of 2024!  It is so fresh and effervescent!  The lemon, dill and feta wakes up the pallet.  I substituted chicken with Impossible meat, as I don't eat meat and it was so delicious!  Bringing it to Christmas dinner tonight to a table full of Greeks!

This was good, even my teenager cleaned his plate.  I used a box version of the giant couscous because that's all my grocer had in stock. I also used some pickled red onions I had made earlier in the week in the cucumber salad.  It was delicious and I will definitely make it again!
