Ingredients for Greek Chicken Meatballs

• Milk: Adds moisture and helps soften the breadcrumbs so the meatballs stay tender instead of dense.
• Italian Breadcrumbs: Bind the mixture together and give the meatballs structure while soaking up flavor from the seasonings.
• Ground Chicken: The base protein—lean, mild, and perfect for carrying all those fresh Greek flavors.
• Feta: Adds creamy, salty pops of flavor and helps keep the meatballs moist.
• Zucchini: Grated zucchini sneaks in extra moisture (so the chicken doesn’t dry out) plus a little hidden veggie goodness.
• Lemon: Both juice and zest brighten the flavors, balancing the richness of the chicken and feta with fresh, citrusy notes.
• Egg: Acts as the “glue” to bind everything together so the meatballs hold their shape.
• Garlic: Adds savory depth and that classic Mediterranean flavor.
• Salt: Enhances all the other flavors so the meatballs don’t taste bland.
• Fresh Mixed Herbs (dill, mint, parsley): Bring freshness and authentic Greek flavor—each herb layers in something unique.
• Black Pepper: Adds gentle heat and balance to the savory flavors.
• Olive Oil: Helps the meatballs get golden brown on the outside.

How to Make Greek Chicken Meatballs

1. Soak the Breadcrumbs: Combine the milk and breadcrumbs in a bowl and let them sit for a few minutes.
2. Combine: Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.
3. Form: Use a cookie scoop to form meatballs that are similar in size. Coat your hands in a little olive oil and then roll the meatballs in your hands.
4. Bake: Cook in the air fryer preheated to 400℉ for 11 minutes or in the oven on a baking sheet (also at 400℉) for 12-15 minutes.

Baked Chicken Meatballs and Orzo

These chicken meatballs are so juicy and flavorful but they are also healthier! Serve them over creamy sun dried tomato and mushroom orzo and you’ve got a new family recipe!

Last year we visited Israel for a couple of weeks and ate, and ate, and ate. The breads there, my goodness, there’s just nothing like bread outside of the USA. But what was interesting was that as much as we ate we really didn’t feel gross nor did we come home gazillions of pounds heavier. It was just fresh food and that made all the difference. Since coming home and dreaming of those cobblestone streets and warm challah, I’ve been heavily focused on dishes that incorporate more herbs and brightness to simple meals.

Meatballs are awesome, but a chicken version that’s still moist and juicy with the freshness of all those beautiful herbs is exactly what this blog needed.

I especially love the fried herbs we toss on top at the end. They are so delicate but still pack their flavor.

And before you ask, I don’t know what the best part of our trip was; Petra was amazing, Israel was like breathing new air, and the borders of Syria and Lebanon, well some of the best food we had all through the trip was there!

I think you have to leave home every now and again in order to find out what home really is to you. Home is everyone I love, a casual night around the table with no deadlines or hurrying and a big plate of the creamiest orzo dotted with earthy mushrooms and fragrant meatballs.
