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
- Soak the Breadcrumbs: Combine the milk and breadcrumbs in a bowl and let them sit for a few minutes.
- Combine: Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.
- 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.
- 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.
