Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the lean ground chicken, panko crumbs, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, dried oregano, ground coriander, cumin, salt, pepper, egg, and crumbled feta cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Shape the mixture into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Prepare the tzatziki sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, finely chopped cucumber, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
