Baking Instructions:

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your meatballs cook evenly and develop a nice, golden crust.
• Step 2: Prepare the Mixture - In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs (or crushed saltine crackers), egg, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder (or minced garlic), onion powder (or fresh onion), dried oregano, and chopped parsley.
• Step 3: Mix Until Combined - Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough meatballs.
• Step 4: Form the Meatballs - Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each meatball.
• Step 5: Bake - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
• Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own, with pasta, or as part of a hearty sub sandwich.
