These chicken meatballs are deliciously seasoned and then baked, not fried. They're a healthy choice to pair with your pasta or meatball sandwiches.
1 lb. ground chicken
1 c. whole milk Ricotta cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 c. bread crumbs
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 t. dried oregano
2 c. tomato sauce
olive oil, for greasing
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the ground chicken, Ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, parsley, garlic, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and oregano.
Form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs; place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Warm the tomato sauce in a saucepan. Coat the baked meatballs in the sauce.
Serve hot.
