Ingredients

2 lbs. lean ground chicken, I use lean 8% fat
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup seasoned panko crumbs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 tsp. Montreal Chicken Seasoning, I use the 25% less sodium one
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. coarse kosher salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line an extra large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for meatballs and gently mix together. Do not over mix. Use a 1 1/2-inch scooper and scoop meatballs and place on prepared sheet. I like to use a heaping scooper full and I average about 20 meatballs.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned and no longer pink inside with an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Notes

I use the 25% less sodium Montreal Chicken Seasoning.

I used my 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop to scoop my meatballs, this way they are all pretty much equal in size.

These meatballs freeze beautifully. When you want to enjoy them, just remove them from the freezer and defrost in the fridge or throw in your favorite sauce frozen and cook until they're warmed through.
