Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package prepared couscous
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, avoid overmixing so the meatballs stay tender.
  • Roll the mixture into meatballs (about 1½ tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden.
  • While the meatballs bake, prepare the couscous according to the package directions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  • In a small bowl, toss together the cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
  • Divide the couscous among four plates or shallow bowls. Top with a few meatballs and spoon the cucumber-tomato mixture over the top.
  • Drizzle each serving with tzatziki, sprinkle with fresh dill, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
