- 1 large egg
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball, about the size of a golf ball.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chicken balls to the skillet in batches, cooking each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 6
Once all the chicken balls are browned, return them all to the skillet and pour the chicken broth over them.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken balls rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the juicy chicken balls warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
