Step 1: Roast the Garlic for Tzatziki

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice off the top of a whole head of garlic, exposing the tops of the cloves.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the garlic, ensuring it seeps into the cloves.
4. Wrap the garlic head tightly in aluminum foil.
5. Roast for 30–40 minutes or until the cloves become soft, golden, and fragrant.
6. Allow the garlic to cool slightly before squeezing out the roasted cloves. Mash them into a smooth paste and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Roasted Garlic Tzatziki

1. Peel and grate ½ cucumber, then squeeze out excess moisture using a cheesecloth or paper towel.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine:
   • Greek yogurt
   • Grated cucumber
   • Mashed roasted garlic
   • Lemon juice
   • Fresh dill
   • Salt and black pepper
3. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the tzatziki for added richness.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Step 3: Prepare the Feta-Stuffed Chicken Meatballs

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine:
   • Ground chicken
   • Breadcrumbs
   • Red onion
   • Minced garlic
   • Chopped parsley and dill
   • Dried oregano
   • Lemon zest and juice
   • Lightly beaten egg
   • Salt and black pepper
2. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Do not overmix, as this may make the meatballs dense.
3. Take a small portion of the mixture (about 1 ½ tablespoons) and flatten it in your palm.
4. Place a small cube of feta cheese in the center.
5. Gently wrap the chicken mixture around the feta, sealing it completely to form a smooth meatball.
6. Repeat until all meatballs are formed.

Step 4: Cook the Meatballs

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the meatballs in batches, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan.
3. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure an even golden-brown crust.
4. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Once fully cooked, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 5: Serve & Garnish

1. Arrange the Feta-Stuffed Greek Chicken Meatballs on a serving platter.
2. Serve alongside the roasted garlic tzatziki.
3. Garnish with extra fresh dill and a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
4. Pair with warm pita bread, a Greek salad, or lemon-herb rice for a complete meal.
