Share:
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken breast
- 1 egg
- ½ onion, finely minced
- ½ c cornmeal
- 2 Tbsp skim milk
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 ¾ tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp parsley
- ¾ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Mix all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl, until just combined.
- Take a slightly rounded Tablespoon of meat mixture and roll it into a ball, using your hands. (If your hands get too sticky to form a smooth ball, moisten them slightly with water.)
- Place the balls on a greased, aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until firm and golden.
- Serve immediately, refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze for later.*
Notes
- *To freeze the meatballs once completely cooled: Keep them in a single layer on their baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Then, the meatballs can be removed from the baking sheet and placed in a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Frozen meatballs can be placed in a sauce and gently simmered to thaw, or they can be thawed completely on the counter (or in the refrigerator) and heated in a skillet over medium heat.
