Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken breast
- 60 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 Large egg white
- 60 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
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 breast, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and egg white.
Add the chicken broth to the mixture to keep the meatballs moist while baking.
Incorporate the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley into the mix for added flavor.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have around 16 meatballs.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
Lightly spray the meatballs with olive oil spray to give them a slight crisp without adding extra fat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm as desired, with a dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
