0.333 cup red wine
2 cloves garlic
2 spring onion
2 teaspoons oregano
0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground chicken
0.25 cup olive oil
1 pound swiss chard
1 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 cup feta cheese
0.25 cup parsley
Equipment
Bowl
Sheet Pan
Dutch Oven
Ladle
Parchment Paper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the panko, red wine, garlic, spring onions, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Add the ground chicken and gently mix until fully combined.
    • Panko - ½ cup
    • Red Wine - ⅓ cup
    • Garlic - 2 cloves
    • Spring Onion - 2
    • Oregano - 2 teaspoons
    • Red Pepper Flakes - ¼ teaspoon
    • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  2. Coat your palms in olive oil, then shape the meat mixture into 14 medium meatballs (about 2 inches each). Set the meatballs on a sheet pan or parchment paper.
    • Olive Oil - ¼ cup
    • Ground Chicken - 1 pound
  3. Heat a 12-inch Dutch oven over medium heat for 2 minutes until hot. Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, tilting the pot to coat the surface, then add the meatballs. Cook until they are golden halfway up the sides, occasionally turning them, about 7 minutes.
    • Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
    • Ground Chicken - 1 pound
  4. In another large bowl, add the Swiss chard, lemon slices, cumin, feta cheese, parsley, and remaining olive oil. Season with salt and toss to coat the leaves.
    • Swiss Chard - 1 pound
    • Lemon - 1
    • Ground Cumin - 1 teaspoon
    • Feta Cheese - ½ cup
    • Parsley - ¼ cup
    • Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
    • Salt - 1 to taste
  5. Smother the meatballs with the Swiss chard mixture. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the greens are tender, about 12 to 13 minutes.
    • Ground Chicken - 1 pound
    • Swiss Chard - 1 pound
    • Lemon - 1
  6. Use a soup ladle to scoop up the meatballs, resting them on the greens, browned-side up, and ladling any juices on top. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
    • Ground Chicken - 1 pound
    • Swiss Chard - 1 pound
    • Lemon - 1

Notes

The new recipe incorporates Mediterranean spices and fresh herbs to enhance the flavor profile. The use of Swiss chard remains, but the addition of ingredients like feta cheese and fresh parsley brings a new dimension to the dish. The cooking method is simplified to ensure ease of preparation.
