# Ingredients:
→ Core Ingredients
01 -
1/4 cup milk
02 -
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
03 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
Cooking spray
05 -
1 large egg (lightly whisked)
06 -
2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
07 -
1 pound ground chicken
08 -
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
09 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 400°F and let it heat up. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper, and give it a quick mist with cooking spray so cleanup's easier.
02 -
Mix breadcrumbs, milk, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and the whisked egg in a bowl. Let that mixture rest a bit so everything can soak up moisture for extra flavor.
03 -
Stir in the ground chicken and parmesan cheese. Skip the cheese if you'd prefer it plain! Mash it all together till smooth.
04 -
Shape about 18 to 20 meatballs from the mixture. Wetting your hands lightly will keep them from sticking to everything.
05 -
Arrange the meatballs evenly onto the prepared tray. Spray a little olive oil on top so they'll turn golden.
06 -
Bake for 20 minutes. Want extra browning? Turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes (but keep an eye on it so they don't burn!). Pair them with dipping sauces or mix into pasta!
# Notes:
01 -
Great for dipping in marinara, honey mustard, or ranch!
02 -
Turn them into subs or include them in your spaghetti meal.
03 -
Skip parmesan if someone's not into cheese—it'll still taste great!
