Ingredients
Meatballs
- 2 lbs lean ground chicken
- 1 cup grated carrots
- ½ cup chopped green onion
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped dill
- ½ cup diced green bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic about 6 cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 large eggs
Yogurt Dill Sauce
- 1 ½ cups non-fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup chopped dill
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp grated garlic about 3 cloves
- ¼ cup lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, grated carrots, green onion, parsley, dill, green bell pepper, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, and eggs. Mix thoroughly. The mixture may be a bit soft, but this is fine; it will bake up firm.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Roll the mixture into 18 balls (about 3 Tbsp in size each).
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- While baking, make the yogurt dill sauce. Combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, dill, salt, black pepper, onion powder, fresh garlic, and lemon juice in a medium sized bowl.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, serve with the yogurt dill sauce and enjoy!
