Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl add ground chicken, garlic, feta cheese, panko, parsley, dill, mint, lemon zest, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands and mix together until fully combined.
Shape the ground chicken into 16 same-sized meatballs and place onto the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. They will feel firm to the touch and slightly browned when ready.
Add 4 meatballs per pita and top with red onion, cucumber, mixed greens, and tzatziki sauce. You can also top with more feta if desired.
