Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Roll the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked (about 10-12 minutes). Alternatively, brush with olive oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with pasta and tomato sauce or enjoy as a meatball sub with crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the meatballs instead of frying them.
You can swap the ground chicken for ground turkey for a slightly different flavor.
