Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • A few cranks of cracked black pepper
  • 1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 clove garlic, grated to a paste or finely minced
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • A bit of olive oil for hand rolling (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450º F, and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set it aside.
  • Put all of the meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop up a heaping tablespoon-worth of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Lightly oil your hands to make a smoother meatball. Then place it onto the baking sheet and repeat until you use up all of the ground chicken mixture. You should end up with 12-13 meatballs.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes, or once the meatballs reach and internal temperature of 165º F.
  • When done, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them sit for about five minutes before serving.
  • You can serve these in a variety or ways; we love serving them wityh grains, tzatziki, and fresh veggies like cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and shaved red onions.
