Instructions
1-Getting started with Greek chicken meatballs: Begin by combining all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mixing thoroughly by hand for even distribution. This method from the recipe summary helps lock in the flavors of herbs and spices.
2-Forming the meatballs: Use a scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture and form it into meatballs for uniform size.
3-Cooking the meatballs: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and cook the meatballs for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you’re making a larger batch, cook in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
4-Alternative cooking methods: For healthier options, you can bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or air-fry at the same temperature for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a tasty meal ready in no time.
