I have to give credit to 2 ladies for this recipe, one that I like WAY more then the other. The first one is cousin Danielle, who said she made these for a party and they came out awesome and were very healthy, so she inspired me to make them. The other is Rachel Ray (uuuuuuuugh) who is the original author of the recipe that I VERY loosely followed.
I highly suggest making these for an appetizer to bring to a party,  or to have as something new and fun for dinner like I did. I LITERALLY just made these for the 1st time and LITERALLY just ate them, and they were a big hit with the hubs (plus they only took a half hour to make total so that worked out well).
Meatball Ingredients:
1 package ground chicken breast (the small pack for dinner, larger for a party - i'm sure you can all eyeball the amounts accordingly for all the rest of the ingredients)
1/2 box frozen spinach - thawed and drained
2 tbs chopped dill
1/2 cup of crumbled feta (or more, whatevs)
1 egg
2 tsp each of ground coriander, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, and dried mint
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a fork - then with your hands once the fork thing pisses you off. Its gonna be super sticky and not want to form balls, so just do the best you can.
Drop small amounts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until they are firm and browning. Serve up with the following tzatziki sauce:
Tzatziki Ingredients:
1-2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 inches of a cucumber grated or minced
zest of 1 lime, and juice of half
2 tbs fresh chopped dill
1 SMALL clove of garlic grated (or minced super super small)
1 tsp dried mint (of you have it - not that important)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions: Ummmmm, mix in a bowl? Refrigerate? pretty self explanatory.
