Gluten Free Air Fryer Greek Chicken Meatballs
Meatball recipes are one of my favorite things to keep on rotation. They make eating chicken fun when I am so sick and bored of eating chicken over and over again. These are delicious and super healthy making them a great option for lunch or dinner. You can, of course, cook them in your preferred method. I personally love making meatballs in the air fryer--it leaves a good crust on the outside and a soft inside.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken do not use breast- make sure it has fat content
- 1 tsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- .5 Red Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine together chicken, dill, mint, oregano, lemon zest, onion, salt, garlic, egg and feta.
- Mix well. Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
- Preheat air fryer to 400F
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 F and lightly spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Air fry for 15 minutes, being sure to flip halfway. (You can also do 400F and cook for 10 minutes but I prefer a little lower temp to not dry the chicken out)
- Recommended to serve over tzatziki sauce. My recipe is super easy and low fat!
