Cook Once, Eat Twice: Greek Chicken Meatballs

Here’s the latest installment of my “Cook Once, Eat Twice” series.  Because of my busy schedule, when I cook dinner, I often like to double the recipe and then transform the leftovers into an entirely different meal on another day.  It’s a real timesaver and I also find it to be a fun challenge.  My Greek Chicken Meatballs are full of Greek flavor and easy to make, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.  I use ground chicken breast (which I like to grind myself in my stand mixer) mixed with feta cheese, spices and spinach, which is one of the most nutritious foods you can eat.  Spinach is packed with a wide variety of compounds that are beneficial for your health including several vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting antioxidants. It’s a rich source of fiber and protein as well as Vitamins A, C, K, and folate.  It’s also rich in several minerals like calcium, iron and manganese.  Serve these meatballs alone or over spaghetti with tomato sauce.  They’re also great in soups and sandwiches.  Freeze any
leftovers and keep them for busy weeknights.  Your whole family will love them and they won’t even know how good they are for you!  Stay tuned for my next post, where I’ll feature these delicious meatballs in a new recipe- my Greek Meatball Pita Sandwiches.
