Equipment

  • wire baking rack

Ingredients
  

Feta & Herb Chicken Meatballs:

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 100 grams feta crumbled
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp flour of your choice I used almond
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or herbs basil or parsley work great too
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil for rolling

Homemade Tzatziki:

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
  • 1/2 medium cucumber grated, with water squeezed out
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice juice from about 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • First, combine all ingredients for meatballs (except olive oil) in a large bowl. Combine using a spoon or clean hands.
  • Once all the ingredients are well combined, coat your hands with a drizzle of olive oil to your hands and rub them together. Use your hands to form the mixture into 1 inch balls. The olive oil will make them smooth and crispy on the outside while cooking.
  • Add formed meatballs to a lined baking sheet (with a rack works best so fat cooks out). Bake meatballs for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees until fully cooked through. They should be lightly golden on the outside.

For the Tzatziki:

  • Start by grating the cucumber into a clean dish towel (or paper towel). Squeeze out all excess water.
  • Add plain greek yogurt to a bowl with shredded cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly chopped dill. Mix until everything is combined.
  • Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes prior to serving. Dip your meatballs in the homemade tzatziki sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

The recipe serves about 4 to 6 people. If you have leftovers, these make the perfect meal prep meal!
For tzatziki, store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
