Ingredients
- 500g ground chicken breast
- 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4-5 medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
Instructions
Making the Meatballs
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, parsley, onion, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, around 1-2 inches in diameter. The freeform shape adds a unique touch to the presentation and helps them cook evenly.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Preparing the Yogurt Sauce
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, honey, and cayenne pepper (if desired). This yogurt sauce will provide a creamy and tangy complement to the meatballs.
- Taste the yogurt sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add a pinch of salt or more lemon juice for extra zing.
Serving
- Arrange the cooked meatballs on a serving platter and place the carrot sticks alongside them. The vibrant color of the carrots will enhance the visual appeal of the dish.
- Spoon the yogurt sauce into a small bowl and place it in the center of the serving platter, allowing your guests to help themselves.
- Serve the freeform chicken meatballs with carrots and yogurt sauce as an appetizer or as a main course with a side of salad or rice. Enjoy the combination of flavors and textures in this delectable dish!
