Ingredients

Servings

For the Greek lemon sauce

  • juice of one lemon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced dill
  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

For the meatballs

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped mint
  • 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the sheet pan

  • 1 medium zucchini, cut in half-moons
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 14 oz can butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup green olives

For serving

  • 1 cup dry bulgur wheat, cooked
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • tzatziki (use our easy Greek tzatziki recipe)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Greek lemon sauce and set aside.
  3. Cook bulgur according to package instructions and set aside.
  4. To the sheet pan add the drained/rinsed butter beans, chopped asparagus, olives and chopped zucchini.
  5. Make the meatballs: Mix together the ground chicken, chopped mint, crumbled feta cheese, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil.
  6. Once combined, scoop about 2 tbsp at a time and form into meatballs.
  7. Place the meatballs onto the sheet pan, nestled in between the other ingredients on the pan.
  8. Drizzle everything on the sheet pan with half of the lemon sauce and reserve the rest.
  9. Bake for 22-26 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  10. Once cooked, drizzle the capers and the rest of the lemon sauce overtop of everything. Serve the meatballs and vegetables on top of a bed of cooked bulgur with a side of tzatziki for dipping.

Notes

  • Instead of bulgur, serve with another grain of choice like quinoa or rice.
  • These meatballs can be made on their own for a delicious meal prep recipe with bulgur.
