Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchement paper.
Add chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, salt, rosemary and dried oregano to a medium bowl. Grate 3/4 of the onion into the bowl and then finely chop the remaining 1/4 of the onion and add it to the bowl as well. Use your hands to mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Use a small cookie spoon to form the chicken into meatballs. Wet hands with cold water and roll into a perfect ball. Place on the prepare baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
While the meatballs cook, make the whipped feta. Add the feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, onion powder, and dill to a food processor. Pulse until smooth and whipped. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse one more time.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the cucumber into thinly sliced pieces. To assemble, spread the whipped feta on the bottom of each pita. Top with shaved cucumber and red onion. Place chicken meatballs on top.
