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.
