Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 pounds ground chicken or 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

  1. Add the oil to a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, along with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Set aside to let cool while you make the meatball mix.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl and then let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  4. Spray a 1 1/2 tablespoon scooper with non-stick cooking spray and portion out the meatballs onto a parchment lined baking sheet. 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.
  5. Bake the meatballs for 12 minutes and then broil the meatballs for 5 minutes. Broiling the meatballs will give them a nice, brown exterior. If you want to skip the broiler, cook the meatballs in the oven for 15-17 minutes until cooked through.
