- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp oregano

For the Sauce:

Instructions
- Mix the meatball ingredients – In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, egg, garlic paste, feta, panko, and seasonings. Mix until just combined.
- Form & sear – Shape the mixture into meatballs (about 1 ½ inches each). Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sear the meatballs, turning until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
- Make the sauce – Remove the meatballs and melt butter in the same pan. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, season with oregano, salt, and pepper, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Finish & serve – Serve hot over pearl couscous with fresh arugula on the side.
