Recipes:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Garlic Pastina:
1 cup pastina (or orzo)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
In a bowl, combine ground chicken, feta, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and form into small
meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
In the same skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add pastina and stir for 1 minute to toast slightly.
Pour in chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pastina absorbs the liquid and
becomes tender.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and return the meatballs to the skillet. Mix gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
