Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 2 ½ Tablespoon Cookie Scoop

Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cups breadcrumbs plain
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 6 tablespoon fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F and lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix until fully incorporated, lightly squishing the meat mixture together to infuse the flavors.
  • Using a 2 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, roll into uniform meatballs and place on prepared sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through and reaching an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Cool slightly and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a Cookie Scoop: To ensure a more even portion that helps them cook more evenly.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mixing just until combined keeps them tender. Apply light pressure when mixing the meat through your hands to blend all the ingredients together.
  • Chill the Mixture: Letting the mixture rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes can help make shaping easier.
  • Check Internal Temp: Meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165F for doneness.
  • Double the Batch: These freeze well, so make extras for quick meals later.
  • Refrigerator: Once cooled, place in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Freezer: You can freeze meatballs cooked or uncooked by lining them on a baking sheet until frozen, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag or vacuum-sealing. Store for up to 6 months.
  • Reheating: Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or stovetop in a sauce until warmed through; or bake according to the recipe card.
