Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Remove from the oven and let the chicken balls rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken balls warm with your choice of dipping sauce or over pasta or rice.
