Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground 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, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together gently using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Lightly grease your hands with a little olive oil and shape the mixture into approximately 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) meatballs. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve your delicious soy-free chicken meatballs with your favorite sauce or as part of a hearty pasta dish.
