The best chicken meatballs baked until golden brown and flavored with garlic, herbs and spices. These meatballs are great served as an appetizer, or over a big plate of spaghetti.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray.
Place the ground chicken, eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Roll 1 inch sized meatballs, and place the meatballs in a single layer on the baking pan.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until meatballs are browned and cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
Notes
You can use ground turkey instead of ground chicken with great results.
When you select your ground chicken, pick 93-96% lean ground chicken. Avoid 99% lean ground chicken breast.
I like to serve these meatballs in garlic butter sauce. To make garlic butter sauce, simply cook in a pan 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley and a little salt and pepper to taste. You can also serve these meatballs in marinara sauce or with marinara sauce for dipping.
