Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ½ a bell pepper – finely diced
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp bread crumbs or 2 tbsp almond flour for gluten-free
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced bell pepper, egg, crumbled feta, bread crumbs, and seasonings. Mix well using clean hands or a spoon.
- Scoop out 12 meatballs, each about 2 tablespoons in size, and roll them into balls using wet hands.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sear the meatballs on one side for about 3 minutes, then gently flip them and place the skillet in the oven.
- Bake the meatballs in the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F. Let them cool slightly and serve.
- Alternatively, skip the searing step and place meatballs on a baking sheet, baking for 20-22 minutes at 375°F.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute bread crumbs with almond flour.
Adjust seasonings according to your taste preferences.
