- 1 lb. ground chicken
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg -lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup coarsely ground parmesan cheese
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl combine the bread crumbs, milk, kosher salt, garlic powder, egg, and olive oil. Stir to combine and let sit a few minutes to let the bread crumbs soak in the liquid.½ cup panko bread crumbs, ¼ cup milk, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Add the ground chicken and parmesan cheese, then mix until it forms a meatball mixture. (if you think your kids won't like the parmesan you can skip it, the recipe will still work!)1 lb. ground chicken, ½ cup coarsely ground parmesan cheese
- Portion out the meatballs into evenly sized meatballs (this helps the meatballs cook evenly). A cookie scoop can help make uniform meatballs. You should have between 18-20 meatballs.
- Roll the meatballs into nice balls. Pro Tip: wet your hands slightly so the meatballs don't stick to your hands.
- Lightly spray the tops of the meatballs with the non-stick spray. This helps them become golden while baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes. To make a little extra golden you can turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes at the end.
- Serve as is with a dipping sauce on the side; marinara, ranch or honey mustard is excellent.Also great on top of spaghetti with sauce or in a meatball sub!
