Method
 

Make the meatballs
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Then combine ground chicken, fresh herbs, oregano, garlic, panko, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
  2. Roll into 1-inch meatballs (about 16).
  3. Heat 1 Tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temp). Remove and let rest.
Cook the quinoa
  1. Cook according to package. Once cooked:
    Fluff with a fork, stir in melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Cook the veggies
  1. In the same skillet you cooked the meatballs (or if you want to cook simultaneously do a seperate skillet), add 1 Tbsp avocado oil. Toss in zucchini and red pepper. Season with garlic & herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    Sauté until tender and lightly golden, about 5–7 minutes.
Assemble Bowls
  1. Add a scoop of quinoa as the base. Top with meatballs and sautéed veggies.
    Add diced cucumber, a dollop of tzatziki, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
    Optional: drizzle with Greek dressing before serving.
