Instructions

1. In a small frying pan, heat up the garlic and onions in 4 tbsp of olive oil on a very low flame. Sauté until everything is cooked through. Remove the garlic and mash and return to the oil. Cool. NOTE: You do not have to do this step. You can leave everything raw and just add it to the bowl with the ground chicken to make the meatballs.
2. For the meatballs combine ground chicken with sauteed onions and garlic, eggs, dill, salt, parsley, lemon juice, an Italian spice blend and bread crumbs. 
3. Mix and form into balls (About 1 ½ tbsp. each) and place them on some parchment paper.. 
4. Heat 4 tbsp. of olive oil in a large frying pan.  Sear the meatballs in stages on all sides until they are a golden brown. About 3 to 4 minutes on each side. 
5. While the meatballs are cooking, in a large bowl combine the potatoes with 3 tbsp. olive oil, Italian spice blend and salt.  
6. When the meatballs are browned, remove from the pan, set aside and wipe the pan clean.  The meatballs should almost be cooked through.  
7. Add in 3 tbsp. of olive oil to the frying pan and add in the potatoes and begin to brown.  After about 5 minutes add in the sliced onions and saute. 
8. While that is cooking, make the sauce. In a bowl combine olive oil, passata, salt, lemon juice, garlic, Italian spice, fresh parsley and chicken broth. Mix well.
9. Add the meatballs back into the pan, pour over the sauce.  Cook on low for about 15 minutes until everything is cooked through. 
10. Serve topped with feta
