Very tasty, I followed the recipe exactly and not only would make it again, but would serve it at a party! I really liked the yogurt sauce, the kick it had was perfect to round out the flavor. I did half the sauce based on other reviews but used the exact proportions.

A favorite at our house. I found I had to cook them a little longer to make sure they were cooked through. Use a meat thermometer if you are in doubt.

I made these with turkey instead of chicken, and only used half the spinach, but really loved them.

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought they needed a little more flavor when I made them according to recipe. When I made them a second, third, fourth, fifth time...I added more Montreal seasoning, more onion, and more garlic. They popped with extra flavor. Everyone who has tried these when I have made them has asked for the recipe.

I've made these several times and they always run out! Not only are they delicious, but they're healthy too! I was able to prepare both the meatballs and dipping sauce the night before and pop the meatballs in the oven when my company arrived. If you're looking for a crowd pleaser then try these out.

This recipe, as written, was a disaster! The filling completely overpowered the amoung of chicken and the amount of sauce was ridiculous. In fact, the first batch of meatballs I made (strictly adhering to the recipe were tossed in the garbage.
To save this recipe, I substituted 1.25 pounds of ground turkey for the chicken, 1 cup of baby spinach finely diced (chiffonade for the frozen spinach and 1 Tbsp. of Greek seasoning for the grill seasoning. I also cut the amount of sauce I made in half (with still too much leftover. With the changes I made, the meatballs were very good. I think they would be great cut into halves and served in a pita pocket like a gyro.

I make this about once a month (whenever ground chicken goes on sale. I use only 1 box of spinach and it is plenty. My husband and I both love it. I serve it over rice, couscous, or pasta - whatever I have on hand. The sauce really makes it. So easy and fast to make! Would also be a good party food - serve with toothpicks.

Delicious, eye appealing and healty. I always grate the onion and garlic on top of ground chicken, I feel it makes a difference.
