These juicy chicken meatballs are a staple at our house! Super easy to make and they only need about 15 minutes in the oven. Serve these meatballs for dinner or for appetizers!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup grated onion with juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1/3 cup regular breadcrumbs (or Italian seasoned)
- 2 pounds ground chicken (we like to use lean ground chicken breast)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl and mix together to combine.
- Spray a 1 1/2 tablespoon scooper with non-stick cooking spray and portion out the meatballs onto a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. You can also use parchment but it will need to be removed before broiling. You might have to respray the scooper a few times while doing this as the chicken mixture will be very wet. If using your hands, you can either wet them or spray your hands with cooking spray. Once the meatballs are portioned out, spray your hands with cooking spray (or use a little oil) and go back to roll the meatballs into a round, smooth shape.
- Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes, or until no pink remains in the center. At this point the meatballs are finished, but you can also place the meatballs under the broiler for a few minutes to give them a nice, brown exterior. Remember to remove parchment paper from the baking sheet (if using )before using the broiler.
