Baked Chicken Meatballs
These baked chicken meatballs are packed full of flavor, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They are made with healthy lean ground chicken and are perfectly gluten and dairy free.
Ingredients
- 1½ pound ground chicken
- ⅔ cup gluten-free panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons oat milk or any non-dairy milk
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika powder or paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 204°C. Line and lightly grease or spray a baking sheet pan.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Knead with hands until everything is well combined.
- Shape into 1 to 1.5 inch balls. They should all be roughly the same size so they will cook evenly. Wet your hands with water slightly to prevent the meat sticking to your hands.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
Notes
You may use a stand mixer with a dough hook to blend all ingredients.
To make them toddler friendly, reduce the amount of salt to ½ teaspoon and skip the garlic and basil so they are easier on their little tummies!
