How To Make My Feta Chicken Meatballs With Homemade Tzatziki Sauce Step by Step~

STEP 1: Make the Feta Chicken Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, add the bread crumbs and milk, mix, and let the bread crumbs soak up the milk for a minute. Add the Herbs (Parsley and Dill), Oregano, Garlic, crumbled Feta Cheese, Paprika, Salt, and Pepper and mix well. Next, crack in the Egg and add the ground chicken. Mix until evenly combined, trying not to overmix.

STEP 2: Form the Feta Chicken Meatballs

Drizzle and spread 1 tbsp of cooking oil onto a large baking sheet. Scoop mixture into round meatballs whatever size you prefer, I used a medium-sized scoop and they came out to be about 2.5 tbsp, 1.4 oz, or a little under 1/4 of a cup each. Any size works! Roll each meatball into a round circle with your hands and place at least 2 inches apart onto the oiled baking sheet.

STEP 3: Bake Meatballs and Make Tzatziki Sauce

Cook the meatballs in the oven for 25 minutes and in the meantime prepare the Tzatziki sauce. Shred the cucumber on a grater and squeeze out some of the juice, I just used my hands to press and squeeze the cucumber. Add the shredded cucumber to a bowl and add in the Greek Yogurt, Lemon Juice, Fresh Herbs (Dill, Parsley, Mint), Garlic, Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper. Mix well and set aside.

STEP 4: Assemble and Enjoy!

Assemble your plate with the meatballs, top with lots of tzatziki sauce, and enjoy! I served mine with pearl couscous. The meatballs would also go well on a bed of greens, rice, a grain like quinoa, or a shortcut pasta like orzo.

Notes For Success

This recipe is super versatile and customizable, where you can change out the herbs to your liking or whatever you have on hand. soaking the bread crumbs helps ensure the meatballs stay moist so I wouldn’t recommend skipping that part but you can use a nondairy milk, broth, or even water. Feel free to use fresh or dried herbs, whatever is easiest to find. The size of the meatball does not matter but you may need to adjust the cooking time if your meatballs are larger to cook them longer or if they are smaller they can cook for less time as long as the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
