Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (divided)
  • 1/3 cup dried bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1.5 cups brown rice
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 10 oz frozen spinach (thawed)
  • 5 oz crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, bread crumbs, beaten egg, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Form into meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each).
  2. Heat EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear lemon slices until browned; set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook meatballs in batches until browned and cooked through (about 10–12 minutes). Remove as finished.
  4. Add remaining minced garlic to the skillet; sauté briefly before adding brown rice. Stir in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Cover and cook until rice is tender (approximately 30 minutes).
  5. Stir in thawed spinach and return meatballs to the skillet along with seared lemon slices. Top with feta cheese before serving.
