Instructions

  1. PREHEAT OVEN. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. PREP TATERS. Add halved potatoes to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, rubbed sage, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper. Toss until potatoes are well coated.
  3. GIVE TATERS A HEAD START. Roast the potatoes for about 10 minutes on their own before adding the meatballs.
  4. MAKE MEATBALLS. Add chicken, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, milk, egg, garlic, fresh herbs, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix with hands just until combined. Use a cookie scoop to form meatballs. Oil hands with olive oil and roll into uniform balls.
  5. BAKE IT ALL TOGETHER. Add meatballs to the sheet pan of potatoes and roast for another 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender. Broil for 1 minute to get a crispy crust on both.
  6. MAKE THE SAUCE. While everything is roasting, combine yogurt, fresh herbs, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  7. FINISH + SERVE. Serve meatballs and potatoes drizzled with the creamy yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, sliced feta, and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!

Notes

    • Grating the garlic on a microplane (instead of mincing) gives the meatballs a much more even, mellow garlic flavor throughout. No surprise garlic chunks! You can use garlic paste from a tube or jar instead if you’re looking for a shortcut.

    • Oiling your hands before rolling the meatballs is a small step that makes a big difference. The meatballs are a bit sticky, so oiled hands keep everything from turning into a mess. BONUS: The oil also helps give the meatballs a nice crust on the outside!

    • Giving the potatoes a 10-minute head start is necessary. They take a bit longer to get fork-tender than chicken meatballs take to cook through, so this timing keeps both perfectly done at the same time.

    • Don’t skip the broil at the end! That quick minute leaves the meatballs and potatoes with a deliciously crispy finish.
