Servings: 12 meatballs
Calories: 89kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired. In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, garlic powder, oregano, feta, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
- Use a fork or clean hands to gently combine the mixture until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
- Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. You should get about 12 evenly sized meatballs. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each one.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve warm with your favorite sauce or side dishes.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the meat. Combine everything gently so the meatballs stay tender.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion evenly for consistent cooking.
- These meatballs can also be cooked in the air fryer. Preheat it to 375°F and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can mix and roll the meatballs in advance. Store them in the fridge and bake just before serving.
- Swap the ground chicken for turkey or lean ground beef if that’s what you have on hand.
