Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, oregano, mint, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, and feta. Mix well and shape into 24-25 meatballs.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Brown meatballs for 4-5 minutes until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked through (165°F/74°C).

Use turkey instead of chicken for a different flavor.
Store cooked meatballs in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Freeze shaped meatballs on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag for up to 3 months.
