Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and almond milk. Let it soak for a few minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add salt and black pepper to the mixture, and mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add chicken balls to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Cook the chicken balls for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned.
Transfer the skillet with browned chicken balls to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer, or add them to your favorite pasta or salad for a complete meal.
