Description

Delicious chicken meatballs combined with grated zucchini and creamy feta, perfect for cozy dinners and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the ground chicken, grated zucchini, crumbled feta, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat.
  5. Add the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring space between them. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Serve hot with cucumber-avocado salad, tzatziki sauce, and fluffy rice.

Notes

For best results, ensure excess moisture is squeezed out from the zucchini before mixing. You can prepare the meatball mixture a day in advance for enhanced flavors.
