Prepare Meatballs
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, onion powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
- Use your hands to shape the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs (12-14 total) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Prepare Orzo
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken broth or water to a boil. Add the orzo, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until al dente.
- Drain excess liquid from the orzo, return to the saucepan, and stir in lemon juice, olive oil or butter, and season with salt and pepper.
Serve
- Serve the lemony orzo on plates, topped with warm Greek chicken meatballs. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
