Jump to RecipeI have been on a real ground chicken kick lately. The flavor and texture are much better than ground turkey, in my opinion, and it’s a nice change from ground beef.
These Greek Chicken Meatballs are great for an easy dinner. Since they’re baked, you can cook them all at once instead of in batches in a skillet. That cuts your cooking time in half!
The best thing about these is that kids absolutely looooovvveee them. First of all, I’ve yet to meet a kid that didn’t like meatballs period. But these are so delicious and flavorful, your kids will gobble them up and then ask for more.
