To make Spinach Feta Chicken Meatballs
Scoop even portions onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, roll into balls, and drizzle 1/4 tsp of olive oil on top. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven on the bottom rack for 7 minutes, turn over, and bake for 7-10 more minutes until nicely browned.
Serve over lemony orzo, fresh arugula, or as an appetizer with tzatziki sauce.
Leftovers store well and can be enjoyed for lunches throughout the week.
