Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken

*use mighty spark rotisserie seasoned ground chicken (at fresh thyme)

½ cup breadcrumbs

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 garlic cloves (minced)

½ teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Avocado oil cooking spray

Marinara sauce (for serving)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper.

Using wet hands (with either water or olive oil), combine everything until the mixture is well blended.

Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture, roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture and it should yield about 15 meatballs.

Spray with cooking spray, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Enjoy with marinara, if desired.
