Easy Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
• 1 large egg
• ½ small onion (finely chopped)
• ¼ cup almond flour
• ¼ cup finely grated fresh parmesan
• ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• Optional: serve with chimichurri sauce

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, egg, onion, almond flour, parmesan, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until well combined.

2. 2

   Scoop and roll. Measure out 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture (or use a medium cookie scoop) and roll the mixture between your hands, forming about 30 meatballs.

3. 3

   Bake until browned. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside and cooked through (to 165°F on an instant-read thermometer). Avoid overbaking them, so that they stay juicy.

4. 4

   Serve. Enjoy the chicken meatballs on their own, or serve with chimichurri sauce, if you'd like.
