Instructions
- Combine the chicken, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon zest and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into meatballs that are roughly 1-inch in size.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook until they are browned on all sides and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, around 10 minutes or so. I highly suggest having the meat thermometer to test here so you don’t overcook the meatballs!
- Serve the meatballs with the hummus - I like 3 to 4 meatballs to about ⅓ cup hummus. Add on some white rice, tomatoes, feta and fresh herbs. Spritz with lemon before serving!
