Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
2 cloves garlic minced
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 pieces pita bread lightly warmed
Thinly sliced red onion for topping
Thinly sliced cucumber for topping
Mixed greens for topping
Tzatziki sauce for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F 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.
