Steps
- Chicken Meatballs:
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, breadcrumbs, cheese, milk, egg, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic, onion powder, and pepper. Mix well, not over-mixing, but making sure that there are no breadcrumb clumps in the mixture. Allow to sit for 10-20 minutes so that the breadcrumbs absorb any excess moisture.
