Sun Dried Tomato & Bulgarian Feta Chicken Meatballs Over Lemon-Spinach Orzo #sundaysupper

Sunday, March 13, 2016 2:05

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

These quick and easy chicken meatballs are so unbelievably mouthwatering you won’t believe how healthy they are. A good quality, creamy Bulgarian feta cheese is essential to adding a bit of moisture, saltiness and a ton of flavor to these meatballs as is tangy sun dried tomatoes. Serve over a small bowl of spinach and tomato orzo with wilted spinach and you have yourself a light and satisfying Spring supper.

Sometimes a girl just needs 10 minutes to herself. With four kids and a husband in the house, something is always happening. There’s always an “emergency”, chore, task or the constant quarrel going on that needs a referee. Yay. So when I actually lock the bedroom door on rare occasion and get 17 knocks within 10 minutes I start looking for the escape hatch. I’m not even talking about time to read a book or take a nap, (HA!) just a few minutes to dye the grays out of my hair, pluck the cursed granny hairs which have found there way on my chin or any other lovely self maintenance my new 40 year old body needs attention to without an audience.

I mean, I know that my husband knows that I dye my hair and I’m sure that he’s seen a whisker or two on my chin and averted his eyes but there are just some things a girl ~~wants~~ needs to keep under veil no matter how long she’s been happily married. Ya know?

A happy, whisker free, non granny haired mom is a mom that is willing to put home made meatballs on the table for dinner. What’s happier and more satisfying than a big, home made, delicious meatball dinner I ask you? Not very many things. Especially when they are stuffed full of my favorite flavors like super fancy and creamy Bulgarian feta cheese and olive oil marinated sun dried tomatoes. Some finely chopped red onion which I think goes much better with ground chicken that white onion and gives it that final touch of Mediterranean flair and of course a hint of garlic powder. So simple yet the flavor goes on and on.

I was all kinds of giddy when the Sunday Supper Team announced that they were collaborating a ginormous meatball gathering this week. No, not giant meatballs but lots and lots of delicious meatball varieties. Hoooray! A meatball a day for the months to come!
