Juicy & Flavor-Packed Greek Chicken Meatballs With Feta (Easy & Gluten Free!) 

This is our first Greek inspired meal on 9 to 5 Feast and I couldn’t be more excited. For the past like 5 years one of my favorite types of food is Greek and Mediterranean foods. So I have become well acquainted with their amazing flavor profiles and wanted to share what I put together!

I have made these for my parents and they could not stop telling me how flavor-packed and yummy my meatballs were!

Check out how to make flavor packed greek chicken meatballs with feta!

What Do I Need To Make Chicken Meatballs With Feta?

Chicken is the first ingredient for our chicken meatballs with feta. Chicken is a leaner and healthier option than traditional beef, pork, or veal meatballs.

Feta cheese is a Greek cheese made from goat or sheep milk. It’s rather dry but adding our wet ingredients helps make the meatballs juicy while still enjoying the feta.

Chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce helps add more flavor. Lactose free milk and an egg will help make the meatballs juicy and moist.

Lastly, we will use plenty of seasonings!!! Before you put the meatballs in the oven, the meatballs should be a light brown color.

How To Make Greek Chicken and Feta Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix by hand or with a spatula. Do not over mix and do not mix too harshly.

Scoop a generous spoonful into your hands.

Roll your meatballs in the palm of your hands. Then place the on an oven tray.

Cook for 8-10 minutes, then turn the meatballs over. Then cook for another 8-10 minutes.

How I Ate This:

I plated my greek chicken and feta meatballs on top of homemade lemon garlic rice. For the toppings, I put a kale mix, feta cucumber tzatziki from Target, and muffuletta olive mix from Kroger. When I tell you this is an elite mix, you will be thanking me (in the comments, please)!! Haha. Please try this out and let me know what you think.

Notes

1. You can use regular milk, I just opted for nondairy milk and it’s amazing. I’ve even tried unsweetened almond milk and the meatballs are still so tasty.
