Best Oven Baked Chicken Meatball Recipes

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs Ground Chicken (you can also use turkey if you prefer)
• 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 cup Italian Panko Bread Crumbs (you can use gluten free!)
• 2 eggs
• 4 Tblsp Olive Oil OR 1/4 cup Cottage Cheese/Ricotta Cheese ~ Because Chicken is so lean it needs a little moisture or it can get dried out when it’s cooked.
• Optional: Parchment Paper for easy cleanup!

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.

So simple ~ mix together the above ingredients and shape into meatballs about 1 1/2 inches round.

Place onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper you can use foil and spray with cooking spray AND if you don’t have either…simply spray the baking sheet! 

Put your Ground Chicken Meatballs into the oven and bake for 20 mins.

Remove from oven.

How do you know when Chicken Meatballs are done?

Chicken Meatballs are done when they are 160 degrees inside. You can check this by using a simple meat thermometer. Meat thermometers are cheap, so they are well worth it to purchase one for all of your cooking needs. If you don’t have one, simply cut one of your meatballs open and make sure it is not pink. All ovens are a bit different so it’s best to check. Your meatballs may need 5 more mins.

Be careful not to overcook your chicken meatballs. They can become dried out quickly. So if you know your oven cooks hot, pull them out and check them sooner than later. Meatballs actually cook pretty quickly.
