1-Getting started: Getting started with Greek Chicken Meatballs is simple and fun. Begin by gathering all your ingredients in one spot to make the process smooth. This recipe takes just about 30 minutes total, with 10 minutes for prep and 20 for cooking, so it’s great for weeknight meals.

2-Mixing the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 pounds ground chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 4 cloves finely minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest. Mix everything well by hand, then use a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon to shape into meatballs. This step ensures even portions and helps with consistency.

3-Cooking the meatballs: Next, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 3-4 minutes per side until they brown nicely and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a lot, cook them in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Once done, serve over chopped romaine lettuce and top with feta cheese, cucumber, tomato, white rice, and tzatziki sauce for a complete dish.
