Ingredients
1 pound lean ground chicken
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined, using your hands or a spoon.
Form the mixture into 20 evenly sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the meatballs with cooking spray to help them brown and keep moist.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 2 minutes before serving.
