Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, keeping your breadcrumbs until last. By hand, mix until well combined.
- Using a 2 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, make medium sized meatballs and lightly shape into a tighter ball, then place on a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°F.
- Cool on the baking sheet until ready to serve.
Notes
- Feel free to freeze these chicken meatballs uncooked, and then thaw and cook them at a later time. They have a shelf life of 3-4 months.
- Store leftover meatballs in a Ziploc bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time if you want a deeper brown color on the meatballs.
