Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh and chopped
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix gently until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Avoid over-mixing as this can make the meatballs dense.
Step 3
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter meatballs, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each meatball.
Step 4
Lightly brush the tops of the meatballs with olive oil to aid in browning.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Step 6
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the meatballs on their own, or add them to pasta, salad, or a low-sodium sauce for a complete meal.
