Another Great Recipe


Here is a great Greek-style Chicken Meatball recipe:


1lb lean ground chicken breast

2 "handfulls" of frozen chopped spinach, thawed

2 tbsp parmasean cheese

or

1/4c feta cheese

2 tbsp minced garlic

1tbsp grill seasoning - I used McCormicks Montreal Steak seasoning

1tbsp olive oil


Dip:

1c greek yogurt

1/4 cucumber, peeled and chopped

1-2 tbsp fresh dill

1/2 lemon, juiced

1tsp each of coriander and cumin

salt to taste


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine chicken, garlic, seasoning, and half of cheese in bowl. Wring water out of spinach and add to meat. Mix well with hands. Form into meatballs and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cook for 15-20 minutes until done. Combine all the dip ingredients into a bowl and serve with meatballs.


I made these on Sunday, and they are FABULOUS! I got the recipe from a google search, and made some minor adjustments to it, and they turned out great. I measured all the meatballs into 1oz portions, so I can just grab out 3 or 4 and that counts as my protien. I love that they are packed with spinach too, so I get some of my veggies in there. A very yummy, convienient protien option. Enjoy!
