Ingredients:

For the Chicken Meatballs:

4 cloves Garlic, minced

2 lbs Ground chicken

1/4 cup Red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup Fresh dill, chopped

1/2 tsp Ground cumin

1/4 cup Fresh mint, chopped

1/2 tsp Lemon zest

1/2 tsp Ground oregano

1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes

1 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking)

For Serving:

1 Cucumber, sliced

1 Tomato, diced

Tzatziki sauce

Cooked white rice

Romaine lettuce leaves

Crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, chopped red onion, chopped dill, chopped mint, lemon zest, ground oregano, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Using your hands, shape the chicken mixture into meatballs of your desired size. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown in the oven.

Bake the chicken meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the serving components. Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Slice the cucumber, dice the tomato, and wash the romaine lettuce leaves.

Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

To serve, arrange the cooked white rice on a serving platter or individual plates. Place the baked chicken meatballs on top of the rice.

Serve with tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with cucumber slices, diced tomato, romaine lettuce leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.
