Recipes:
For the Meatballs
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Lemon Orzo
1 cup orzo pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, feta, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
Shape mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in orzo, chicken broth, water, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender
and liquid is mostly absorbed (about 10 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley.
Serve meatballs over the lemon orzo, garnishing with extra feta and parsley if desired.
