Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Springer Mountain Farms ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg , lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gently fold the ingredients together by hand until just incorporated; avoid over-mixing to maintain a light texture.
  • Portion the mixture into 1.5-tablespoon increments and roll into uniform 1-inch spheres.
  • Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring at least 1 inch of space between each.
  • Lightly coat the surface of the meatballs with olive oil using a pastry brush or spray.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches an atherosclerotic-safe 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
