Greek Feta Chicken Meatballs

Say Hello to My Greek Feta Chicken Meatballs!

Looking for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will love? Say hello to my Greek Feta Chicken Meatballs! These meatballs are not only simple to make but also bursting with flavour, making them a hit with both adults and kids alike. Packed with protein and healthy fats, they are a wholesome choice for anyone looking to enjoy a nutritious meal without sacrificing taste.

Why You’ll Love These Meatballs

One of the best things about these Greek-inspired chicken meatballs is their versatility. While they shine on their own, they’re even better when paired with fresh veggies or a vibrant Greek salad. And let’s not forget the star of the show—dipping them in creamy tzatziki sauce or hummus! This combination adds a refreshing twist that complements the savory meatballs perfectly.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need a few key ingredients to whip up these tasty meatballs. Let’s break them down:

• Ground Chicken or Turkey: Using extra-lean ground chicken or turkey gives you a protein-packed base that’s low in fat, keeping the meatballs light and healthy.
• Red Onion: This ingredient not only adds flavour but also a slight sweetness that balances the savoury elements of the dish.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic is preferred for its robust flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, garlic powder works too.
• Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta keeps the meatballs moist and adds a tangy depth that is quintessentially Greek.
• Fresh Herbs: A blend of oregano, parsley, and basil infuses the meatballs with fresh, aromatic notes, enhancing their flavor profile.
• Bread Crumbs: I prefer gluten-free breadcrumbs for easier digestion, but regular breadcrumbs work just as well.
• Fresh Eggs: Using organic or locally sourced eggs not only supports local farmers but also ensures you get the freshest flavour.
• Dipping Sauce: Tzatziki or hummus makes the perfect accompaniment for these meatballs, providing a cool, creamy contrast.

You only need a few ingredients so let’s get started.

I kind of have this obsession with Greek food. I grew up loving trips to Greek Town in Toronto to taste authentic Greek food. I think the main reason is that Mediterranean food is packed with lots of fresh vegetables and herbs, bold citrus lemon and garlic flavours. It is something I can eat over and over again and never feel sick after.

I love prepping these Greek Feta Chicken Meatballs on a Sunday night and I have a quick protein packed lunch or snack for my week. Top with hummus or tzatkiki for maximum flavour.

Greek Meatballs Quick Tips:

1. Use a cookie dough scooper to form perfect meatballs every time. Scoop and then roll with hands.
2. You can roast these meatballs in the oven or alternatively cook them in an air fryer for approximately 20 minutes. Make sure to flip half way through so the balls cook evenly through-out.
