Welcome Back To Episode 55 of All Things Greek. A series where I share recipes from MY childhood and family and memories from summers spent growing up in Greece. Today I’m making a bomb flavour combo that my mom used to cook for us! Homemade Chicken Meatballs with a Butter Lemon Sauce.

This chicken meatballs recipe is so tasty. They are protein-packed and mixed with the delicious flavors of feta, oregano, olives, and sundried tomatoes — you’ll notice they are very similar to the our Keftedes recipe from Episode 49 of All Things Greek. We elevated them by adding homemade Ground Chicken, a gorgeous lemon sauce and feta! This recipe is such a good one for those busy weeknights. You can even prep these in advance for the week to toss in salads, eat on their own, or with rice and other delicious side dishes.

It’s paired with the most delicious lemon sauce. It’s rich and citrus-forward. You can seriously put it on anything. It’s great on fish, chicken, a side of veggies, or meatballs and rice. You’re going to love it.

Here’s everything you need to make our Homemade Chicken Meatballs:

Ingredients:

* 1 small yellow onion
* 3 garlic cloves
* 450-500 g (about 1lb) chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
* 3 tbsp olive oil divided
* 1 egg
* 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
* 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
* 2 tsp dried oregano
* 1/4 tsp chili flakes
* 1/4 cup green olives chopped
* 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp pepper

Ingredients for the Lemon Sauce can be found in my bio!  
Instructions:

Continued in the comments…

Notes: If you don’t have a food processor, you can make these meatballs with ground chicken and make sure to mince and/or dice all of the ingredients before mixing together to form the meatballs.

🫒 Think all olive oils are the same?

Think again.

There’s a lot more to that bottle on your shelf than you might think.

Comment “Olive oil” and I’ll DM you my Olive Oil 101 PDF + Blog Post!

🔍 The type of olive and its region dramatically impact flavor and quality. Greek, Italian, Spanish—they’re not interchangeable!

🖤 Dark glass bottles protect oil from light damage.
🚫 Plastic bottles? A big red flag for quality.
⏳ Once opened, use it within 1–2 months. Exposure to air = oxidation = dull flavor.
💚 Extra-virgin is the highest grade with the most health benefits. A real one will taste fresh, bold, and even slightly peppery.
⚠️ Many supermarket “olive oils” are cut with cheaper oils.
🔥 Cold-pressed means no heat or chemicals were used—this is what you want.
🗓️ Harvest date matters. Young oil is better. If there’s no harvest or expiration date? Walk away.
📋 Check the label. Real quality is never generic.
