- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, grated red onion, garlic, parsley, dill, mint, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
- Form the Meatballs: Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
