Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
1 pound ground chicken thigh meat
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
a handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For the Sauce:
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
8-12 oz spinach leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 oz feta cheese
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
Make the Meatballs:
Pulse the onion in a food processor until finely chopped. Add it to a large mixing bowl.
Pulse the parsley until finely chopped and add to the mixing bowl along with all of the other meatball ingredients. Mix together until combined.
Form the meatballs and place them on a tray. (make extra and freeze them up to 3 months)
Cook the Meatballs:
Add some oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden all around. Flip them approx. every 2 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and if the skillet has too much oil, remove it until there are about 3-4 tablespoons left in the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and add the finely chopped onion. Cook until soft and golden. Add the garlic and warm through for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the spinach and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until wilted.
Add the cream and broth and cook for 5 minutes. Add the meatballs, crumble the feta cheese on top and warm through for 4-5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and set aside. The sauce will thicken as it sits. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top.
Serve with pasta, bread or cauliflower rice. Kali Orexi!

These meatballs in spinach sauce looks so delicious !!!!!!!!!!!!❤🎉
What a coincidence... I just left some chicken in the fridge and was looking up something different to make. And...there you are !! Thank you !!
Perfect!! you're going to love these :)
The addition of sun dried tomato’s would take this over the top!
yes!! For sure :)
I tried your recipe, and it was delicious. FYI: i replaced the heavy cream with sour cream & bechamel (flour& butter). I also sauteed the onion and garlic with 1 tbsp olive oil until translucent and added them to the chicken.
Thanks for sharing your culinary talent with us.🙏🏼
Does Dimitra have gold in her teeth? I love that. I was thinking of doing that myself. It reminds me so much of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. I absolutely love this channel and the way she cooks. Feels like you’re in the kitchen with your sister.
I made these and my husband LOVED THEM!! ❤❤❤ Thanks so much for this scrumptious recipe!😊😊
What a delicious looking recipe- cannot wait to try it
A splatter screen is perfect for preventing a messy stovetop when browning the meatballs
Missed you!!!! You may have been on vacation i haven't been getting your notifications - Glad i got today's recipe! ( I'd break off a piece of that feta and pop it in my mouth lol )
Thank you!! I was not on vacation, we were renovating our kitchen and it's finally done :) I'm back now. thanks so much for being here
I'll be making this for my guests!
Wow. Definitely on my culinary bucket list!🐱

Hmm...I was thinking of making spaghetti & meatballs for dinner tomorrow night. I may have to try this recipe. Thanks sweetie
Looks very good, sauce a little thin but definitely delicious. I love that added lemon at the end!!!
It thickens as it sits but to make it even thicker, reduce the amount of broth, add more cream and cook it a bit longer. Enjoy!
I gotta make it, thanks for the wonderful recipe ❤❤❤
Enjoy it and you're welcome :)
These chicken meatballs recipe looks so delicious and yummy, a great recipe ❤💛🧡
The dish looks almost as great as Dimitra!
Omg I just made this recipe, it’s sooo yummy. Instructions super clear and easy to follow 💯 thank you for the recipe, next week I’ll make the gyro one.
Dimitra, I just made the prasorizo last night (left a note on your page on video/website discrepancy), was discussing it with my niece, and she asked me for the link!
I think I'll share this with her as well!
(I generally eat pasta with butter and salt 😅)

NOT "just chicken" again ! Lol😅
So unique!
It would be good over rice, too
The great chef Jacques Pepin suggests anytime you grind any type of meat in the food processor to add a few ice cubes to it. Then pulse it until you reach the desired grind. Really enjoy your videos. Stay well❤
That's a great tip!
@@DimitrasDishes You’re welcome. It works well. I really enjoy your videos. Stay well♥️
It’s a splash-guard!
Great video. Could you use minced pork instead of chicken?
Of course!!
Can you bake the meatballs insted of frying? if you can then how long and what temperature?? Please advise and thanks!
Yes, you can bake these at 400 °F, 200 °C for about 10-15 minutes.
@@DimitrasDishes Thank you as always.
How would you go about cooking orzo in this same pot?
I'd prefer to cook orzo separately and toss it in a lemony vinaigrette.
thank you so much, amazing but can I use milk instead of cream ????
Milk won't work in this recipe. It will never thicken... sorry
Interesting that here in Italia,no one eat spaghetti with meatballs 😁
Is the egg really necessary!!!!
Hi dimitra do you use heavy cooking cream You mentioned heavy whipping cream isnt it cooking cream? Thanks plz let us know
I believe the heavy whipping cream that we use here in the USA is know as double cream in Europe.
@@DimitrasDishes hi Dimitra im from Canada i love love watching you your videos you are my coffee friend in the mornings i did not mean to offend you but here in canada we use 35 percent cooking cream whipping cream we use fr desert im sure its delicious and i cant wait to make it

That is called a splatter guard.
Splatter guard
Why must you say “go ahead” every time you go to the next step or ingredient? Such terrible English. Every TV or UA-cam cook does the same thing. Makes me crazy and I’m not even an English professor!!!
Am I wrong?
Yes, you’re wrong bc you’re impolite.
Simple answer: you're a rude person.
