Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley.
Add the beaten egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as it can make the meatballs tough.
Rub a little olive oil on your hands to prevent sticking, then shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with your favorite gluten-free sauce or pasta.
