Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley.
Step 3
Add the beaten egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients together with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as it can make the meatballs tough.
Step 5
Rub a little olive oil on your hands to prevent sticking, then shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
Step 6
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown in the oven.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as is or with your favorite gluten-free sauce or pasta.
