Delicious Greek Chicken Meatballs Served with Zesty Lemon Orzo: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking the meatballs.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, drain the orzo and return it to the saucepan. Stir in olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. Once the meatballs are done, serve them over a bed of zesty lemon orzo. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
