Ingreadient

• 1 pound ground chicken
• ½ cup whole wheat breadcrumbs (see note)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• olive oil (for cooking)

Step by step

1. First, in a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, egg, oregano basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the formed meatballs on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet. Do not overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.
5. Cook the meatballs for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
6. Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet. Place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Finally, serve the chicken meatballs with your favorite sauce!
