A delicious and healthy recipe for gluten-free Greek chicken meatballs served with a zesty lemon orzo.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup orzo pasta (gluten-free)
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  5. Once the orzo is cooked, drain and return to the pot. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
  6. Serve the meatballs over the lemon orzo, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • These meatballs can be made ahead of time and frozen for later use.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
