Recipes:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Garlic Orzo & Cranberry:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup dried cranberries
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (for serving)
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, ricotta, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Shape into small meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove from
skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add orzo, stirring to coat in the oil.
Pour in chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and liquid is mostly
absorbed.
Stir in dried cranberries and fresh parsley, then return the meatballs to the skillet. Toss gently to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with crumbled feta cheese.
