Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion (minced)
- 1 egg
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- ½ cup basil leaves (finely chopped; a few leaves reserved for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon oregano leaves (finely minced; or use 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated; plus more for serving)
- ¾ cup panko
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Prepare the meatballs:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Add the chicken, minced onion, egg, garlic, basil, and oregano to a large bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands or a rubber spatula until combined.
- Add the panko and Parmesan cheese and mix until combined. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized meatballs. The mixture should yield 15 to 16 meatballs.
Bake the meatballs:
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Arrange the meatballs in an even layer. Transfer to the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once midway through cooking. Once the meatballs reach 165ºF, remove them from the oven.
To serve:
