Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground 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, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together gently using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Step 4
Lightly grease your hands with a little olive oil and shape the mixture into approximately 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) meatballs. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Brush the tops of the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve your delicious soy-free chicken meatballs with your favorite sauce or as part of a hearty pasta dish.
