Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or almond flour (gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
