Recipe:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Form small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) from the mixture, rolling them between your palms to create an even shape.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (about 10-12 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. For the dip, combine the yogurt, feta cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve the meatballs warm, alongside the cheese and yogurt dip. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
