Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped parsley, mint, oregano, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended but do not overwork the meat.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking Meatballs
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them and set aside.
Cooking Orzo
- In a saucepan, combine the orzo, chicken broth or water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes until the orzo is tender.
Serving
- Once the orzo is cooked, add the meatballs back to the pan to warm through. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze cooked meatballs for up to three months.
