Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried minced/chopped onions (found with the other dried spices)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 oz crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 lb uncooked 92% lean ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add the egg, panko, garlic, dried onion, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and rosemary, and stir together with a fork until well combined. Add the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and ground chicken and stir the chicken into the other ingredients with a fork until just mixed.
  • On a clean surface, divide the meat mixture into 16 evenly sized piles. Mist your clean hands with cooking spray and roll each meat pile into a meatball. Place the meatballs into a single layer in a sealed container and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  • When the meatballs are chilled, drizzle the olive oil into a large sauté pan and bring over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer with a bit of space in between them. Cook, flipping them every couple minutes to brown all sides, for 8-10 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook covered, removing the lid once or twice to stir the meatballs and then covering them again, for about 5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
