Virtually any meal can start with meatballs, if you try hard enough – but the beauty of Spicy Chicken Eden served with garlic yogurt and herb cucumber salad is that you should barely try at all.
In this objectively perfect weeknight dinner, the tender meat is tossed with crackers, Mediterranean spices, lemon, and milk-soaked panko and baked in the oven, so there’s no messy pan or greasy stove to clean.
Even better? They’re served on a bed of lemony yogurt sauce and served with a mint pickle salad for what one reviewer called their “dream plate.” I couldn’t agree more.
Time Commitment: About 45 minutes.
Key tips: While the recipe calls for full-fat Greek yogurt, Eden Greenspan (aka Eden Eats) says that labne works well, too. And for extra flavor, finish the dish with a sprinkling of sumac and a drizzle of olive oil.
Other requirements: For easier meat-based dishes, try…

Green Goddess Chicken Ricotta Meatballs. If you also believe in the green goddess dressing> ranch, these juicy meats are loaded with its main ingredients and drenched in the sauce itself.

A feta chicken pan with lemon turmeric rice. When 30-Minute Meals are called “the easiest and most satisfying meal you’ll make all week,” you don’t have to tell us twice.
