Method
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Meatball Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, parsley, oregano, egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Step 3: Shape the Meatballs
- Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake the Meatballs
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly golden. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 5: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- While the meatballs bake, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
Step 6: Prepare the Grains
- Cook your chosen grain according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
Step 7: Prepare the Greens
- If using kale, lightly sauté with olive oil until tender. Spinach or arugula can be used fresh.
Step 8: Make the Yogurt Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in chopped herbs.
Step 9: Assemble the Bowls
- Divide grains among bowls. Add greens, roasted sweet potatoes, white beans, and chicken meatballs. Drizzle generously with yogurt sauce.
