Recipes:
For the Chicken Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
For the Lemony Spinach-Feta Orzotto:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and egg. Form the
mixture into small meatballs.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully
cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the orzo and toast for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Pour in the broth, bring to a
simmer, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and creamy.
Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the orzotto. Cook for an additional minute to warm everything through.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra feta and lemon zest if desired.
