Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Crack one egg into the mixture and mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well combined.
Shape the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball, and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, beat the remaining egg. In another shallow bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken ball in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken balls in batches, cooking them until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once all the chicken balls are browned, transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken balls are fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165Β°F or 74Β°C).
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, accompanied with your favorite dip or sauce.
