Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, sun dried tomatoes, feta and parmesan cheeses, garlic, green onions, parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together using a spoon, or your hands, until all combined.
- Using a small to medium cookie scoop, make 2-inch sized balls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with non-stick spray). You should get about 18 meatballs.
- Pop the sheet pan in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over top (if desired) and serve alongside a Mediterranean salad or make bowls with brown rice, homemade tzatziki sauce and fresh veggies!
Notes
Serve with brown rice, tzatziki sauce, sprinkle on feta cheese, or pair with a tomato and chickpea salad for a complete meal.
