500g ground chicken 1/4 cup breadcrumbs 1 egg 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 tbsp olive oil Fresh lemon wedges and parsley for garnish
Step 1
In a bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined and easy to shape.
Step 2
Roll the mixture into small, even meatballs and set them on a plate. Chill for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Step 4
Once browned, lower the heat and cover the skillet. Let the meatballs cook through for another 5-7 minutes until juicy.
Step 5
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked meatballs for bright, zesty Greek flavor and extra moisture.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with pita bread, tzatziki, or a fresh cucumber tomato salad.
Step 7
Juicy, flavorful, and easy to make — these one-pan Greek chicken meatballs are perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep!
Jamie’s style is Californian since the technique is rooted in traditional French cooking, but the flavors are inspired by Latin and Asian food and locally sourced ingredients.
