Greek Chicken Meatballs
These meatballs get tons of flavor from fresh herbs and lemon zest. They are baked which makes them healthier than frying, but you could certainly prepare them by frying in a bit of oil on the stove if you prefer. I love to serve them with Cava Crazy Feta which I find at my local Whole Foods. It’s creamy and has a little spice from jalapenos. Make a simple salad, add to a rice bowl or serve gyro-style on pitas. So good any way you serve them up!
