Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as we want a tender texture in our meatballs.
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). This is a crucial step to ensure that the flavors meld beautifully and the meatballs get that golden-brown finish.
-
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Remember that uniform size helps in even cooking and gives the meatballs that professional touch.
-
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps in easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown, delighting in the tremendous aroma that fills your kitchen as they bake.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Chill it in the fridge until ready to serve.
