Easy and Healthy Mediterranean Chicken Meatballs

This is one of my favorite ways to meal prep! I find myself always gravitating towards Mediterranean food and this was an easy solution when I want to eat healthy and quick! You can freeze these for up to 6 months and pull them out as needed.

For the meatballs, I mix 2 lbs of ground chicken with 1/3 cup shallots, 1 tbsp garlic, 1/3 cup minced parsley, 1/4 cup minced dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Then drop in one egg and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs of your choice! They can be GF too like mine! Mix well and form into ping-pong sized balls.

Freeze these for 2 hours if cooking for a meal the same day, or up to 6 months in a airtight container or ziplock bag. When you want to cook them, place a tbsp of grass-fed butter in a pan and cook them on medium heat turning occasionally. Place a lid on them and let them cook thoroughly (around 15-20 minutes.

For the greek yogurt sauce, I use 1 grated cucumber with the water wrung out, dill, lemon juice, garlic, and salt! Mix well. This tastes best made the day before. I love to serve this all together with rice, cucumber, tomatoes, sauce, meatballs, and feta! To really make it a flavor-bomb, I add fresh mint as well!
