Greek Chicken Bites

Super moist flavorful chicken meatballs that are easy to make and everyone loves. You can double and use in a next day lunch salad.

I use thighs so my meatballs are juicy and have lots of flavor. I start with whole chicken because I do not buy packaged ground chicken and turkey - I want to know what is in my food.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Cavender’s Greek Seasoning (otherwise use, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper)
• A few dashes cayenne pepper
• 1 cup, lightly packed, raw baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• Pulse the chicken, onion, garlic, egg white, lemon juice, seasoning and cayenne in a food processor until well combined but there is still some texture - do not make a smooth puree. Transfer the ground mixture to a bowl and fold in the chopped spinach.
• Portion into bite sized balls using a small metal scoop if you have one, otherwise use a teaspoon - dampen hands, roll into balls then flatten slightly.
• Heat oil in a non stick skillet and sauce the bites until golden, flip and cook an additional minute.
• Remove to plate and serve with salad.
