Ground Chicken Meatball Greek Bowls
Last week I shared a simple GF Ground Chicken Meatball recipe, but I wanted to a show a 30 minute weeknight dinner that you can make with the ground chicken meatballs. I love to have a healthy, high protein dinner at the end of a long day, but it can be so draining to cook a complicated meal. This recipe is so simple and you can meal prep all of the ingredients over the weekend if you want.
This combines a few really simple ingredients for a delicious meal that you can make on a busy weeknight. This is also a great recipe if you work from home because you can make yourself a quick, protein packed, healthy lunch.
If you don’t have orzo on hand, you can absolutely use rice, cauliflower rice, or add the meatballs and Cucumber & Tomato Salad on top of some fresh romaine lettuce. I also love to add tzatziki or hummus to this recipe.
Happy Cooking!
