In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter, and set aside on a plate.

Return the meatballs to the pot and let them simmer for 10 minutes.
