Ingredients

- Take out from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite side and salad.

Notes
- Don't over mix the ground chicken with the other ingredients. Everything should be combined, but overworking it can produce tough and chewy meatballs.
- If you prefer, you can cook these meatballs in a little oil in a skillet. Just be sure that they reach an internal temperature of 165F before serving.
- These meatballs also make for a great appetizer, serve with toothpicks and your favorite dip.
