- Measuring cups/spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 medium zucchini grated and squeezed dry
- 1 small onion finely chopped or grated
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ cup crumbled feta
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine chicken, zucchini, onion, garlic, feta, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Gently mix everything together until just combined. Don't overmix.
- Roll the mixture into 12 meatballs and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden and cooked through (165°F).

Notes
- Don't skip squeezing the zucchini — this helps keep the meatballs from falling apart.
- A cookie scoop makes shaping faster and cleaner.
- These freeze really well, so double the batch!
- Want crispier edges? Pop them in the air fryer instead of the oven.
