Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 1 jar 24 ounces marinara sauce (for serving)

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, egg, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Once the meatballs are done, add them to the marinara sauce and let them simmer for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  7. Serve the meatballs with pasta, on a sub roll, or on their own with extra sauce on the side.
