- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large bowl combine ground chicken, egg, panko, Italian seasoning/Herbs de Provence, garlic, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Mix ingredients well (I do this by hand).
- Scoop mounds of the chicken mixture into your hands, then roll in your palms to shape into a ball.

Notes
- Protein substitutions: you can easily swap the ground chicken for ground turkey, beef, or pork!
- How to serve: these meatballs are amazing plain, straight from the oven! They go great with marinara, alfredo, or gravy. I also love to serve them in curry, pasta, with Asian noodles, or with this sauce over rice or couscous.
